A man with long, dark wavy hair stands on a stage in front of a red velvet throne-like chair with gold-trimmed edges, hands pressed together at his face in a gesture of prayer or salutation. He wears a saffron-orange draped garment with gold-bordered edges and a multi-strand beaded necklace, with a white vertical marking and red dot on his forehead. The stage is decorated with red and gold drapes, gold pillars, and vases of orange, yellow and pink flowers. A figure matching the a person candidate's appearance (long hair, saffron clothing, beaded necklace) is present, though the face is partly obscured by the hands. Tamil script is partly visible on the backdrop at right.
