A bearded man seated before an ornate gold-embossed throne backdrop with floral and scroll relief work. He wears a tall dark braided turban-style headwear decorated with rudraksha beads, a horizontal tilak with a central vertical mark on his forehead, a red-orange saffron shawl over bare shoulders, a long ceremonial gold bead necklace, a smaller pendant necklace, and gold earrings. A microphone stand is visible at the lower right. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated and speaking to the audience as a discourse setting.
