A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and a lion motif, on a tiger-print cloth draped over a gold-legged stool. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and wrap with a leopard-print shawl, multiple strands of gold and beaded necklaces, a gold pendant, and hoop earrings, with his hands clasped in his lap. Behind him are a lattice window and green foliage, and a water bottle sits at his left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in the presiding role on the throne, with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style malas and ceremonial gold necklaces.
