A man stands barefoot on a stage with hands on his hips, wearing a deep maroon draped dhoti and a leopard-print shawl with a matching leopard-print sash at the waist, bare-chested with red-brown armbands and wrist bands. He wears a jeweled headpiece, a gold necklace and a bead-style chain, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. Behind him a large dark backdrop shows glowing orange and yellow abstract patterns, and rows of tall silver candlestick-like stands line the stage floor. Appearance-based candidate: a person, with the qualifying cues of long hair, a jeweled crown-like headpiece, ornate gold jewellery and distinctive leopard-print adornment, shown in person on stage during a performance.
