A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, smiling broadly. He has long dreadlocked hair, a full black beard and moustache, white forehead markings with a red bindi, and wears a rust-red sleeveless wrap over his shoulders. He holds a dark twisted staff in one hand and wears a red thread on his wrist. A gold trident stands to the left, and blurred flowers and papers lie in the foreground. Appearance-based candidate: a person, matching the long dreadlocks, rust-red sannyasi wrap, and ceremonial setting, seated in person.
