A man with voluminous dark hair sits in a carved wooden chair on a stage, a microphone on a stand beside him. He wears an orange-saffron robe draped over the shoulder, a thick rudraksha mala of brown beads with a second long orange-threaded garland, a gold necklace, and a leopard-print cloth at the waist. A yellow tilak with a red dot marks his forehead, and a beaded bracelet is on his wrist. Behind him a large carved golden relief of dancing figures fills the backdrop. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated as speaker.
