A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, smiling and gesturing with his right hand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a small gold ornament, a rust-orange shawl and dhoti, a dense brown rudraksha-style mala, and heavy gold necklaces including a large gold pendant. A microphone on a stand is near his face, and a small wooden side table with a glass is at left. Behind him are golden decorative backdrops and red drapes. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in the central place on the throne, visibly speaking to an audience.
