A seated man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl with gold border sits cross-legged on an ornately carved wooden couch covered with leopard-print cushions. He wears a leopard-print headband with a crescent ornament, multiple strands of rudraksha malas, a gold chain with a silver pendant, and bangles, and raises one hand in a gesture while smiling. Beside him a tall silver trident stands, with a small damru drum wrapped in leopard-print cloth hanging from its shaft. Red drapes hang behind and a red patterned rug covers the floor. A visible appearance-based candidate with saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a crescent-topped headpiece: a person, seated in a teaching posture.
