A smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved golden lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion. He wears a leopard-print turban, a red-brown cloth draped over his body, a garland of white flowers, pink roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves, and a heavy gold necklace with gold ornaments. A red tilak marks his forehead and he wears a gold earring and a gold armband. A white serpent-shaped staff rests beside the throne, and a microphone stands at right against a deep red curtain. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the throne with a turban, garland and ceremonial gold ornaments.
