A smiling man with a white vertical tilak and red kumkum dot on his forehead, wearing a pink and white flower garland, a gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads, a saffron-brown wrap with a leopard-print shawl, and a gold ring, raises one hand while speaking into a microphone in front of an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. The photo is a close-up of one person giving a discourse, with the a person label applied to the candidate. Cues are the ceremonial garland and gold necklace, the saffron wrap and the ornate setting, although his face is not used for identification.
