A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand while extending his right hand palm-up. He wears a rust-red turban with gold stripes, a rust-red sleeveless robe, multiple gold necklaces with a gold pendant, and a rudraksha bracelet on his upper arm and wrist, with bare feet. A red tilak mark is on his forehead. Behind him are gold carved panels and a golden ornate backdrop, with a blue draped cloth at left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in the role of a discourse speaker on the throne.
