A man seated on an ornate silver throne with carved floral and scrollwork backing, in front of a red curtain, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a tall black braided turban-style headwrap, white and red forehead markings, and an orange-red saffron shawl draped over one shoulder. Multiple rudraksha malas hang around his neck and wrists and rudraksha bands encircle his upper arms; a gold pendant is visible. The seat is covered in leopard-print fabric. On a silver side table sits a white mug printed with a small photo of a smiling man in an orange-red turban. Appearance-based identification is probable: the long swept-back headwrap, saffron shawl, rudraksha malas and gold necklace fit the a person candidate, though the face is not used for identification.
