A photograph of a smiling bearded man in a maroon-brown dhoti and shawl stands barefoot on a patterned carpet with both palms raised beside his head. He wears long white and orange-red flower garlands, rudraksha beads, a gold pendant and bangles, with a vibhuti line on his forehead. Behind him is an ornate gilded seat with a tiger-skin cushion and a large jewelled silver-and-gold backdrop with a stone-set arch. Scattered yellow flowers lie on the carpet. The figure has distinctive garlands and rudraksha cues and sits in a ceremonial setting, so the appearance is a person candidate, standing in person before the throne as a devotee-facing speaker.
