Photo of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, wearing a saffron-brown robe with a leopard-print shawl and a long pink-and-white lotus flower garland. He has a white vertical tilak with a red dot on his forehead, a gold chain, and holds a bundle of green leaves in his raised right hand above a steel vessel, apparently in a ritual sprinkling. A wooden carved panel and a fan are visible behind; a draped red cloth is at left. Appearance-based a person (long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, saffron-toned clothing) seated on the throne; this is a candidate, identity uncertain from appearance alone.
