A man with long matted dreadlocks and a red-orange vertical mark on his forehead sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads and leopard-print cushions. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder, a gold necklace and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, and his hands rest together in his lap while he speaks into a microphone on a stand. Behind him a large gilded backdrop with floral and scroll carvings glows under stage lighting, and a red curtain frames the scene. The page indicates this is a person, and his appearance (dreadlocks, saffron robe, rudraksha mala, gold ornaments) is consistent with that candidate, so this is an in-person appearance.
