A photograph of an ornate gold throne with red cushions on a stage with a dark purple starry backdrop. A bearded man with a tilak on his forehead, wearing a rust-orange robe and a white flower garland, sits smiling on the throne. A woman in a white sari with pink leaf motifs and a maroon border, with a dark head covering and gold bangles, leans forward holding his hand.

The man on the throne matches the a person presentation cues of rust-orange clothing and garland, so the candidate is probable, though his appearance is not conclusive.
