A photograph of a bearded man seated cross-legged on a leopard-print pedestal on a stage, wearing an orange-saffron draped garment, a leopard-print turban-style headwear, a rudraksha mala with multiple strands, a gold-toned necklace, and gold armbands. Beside him stands a tall silver trident with a damaru and a leopard-print tassel. Behind him, large animated flame graphics fill a black backdrop. Pale green-yellow stage light falls on the scene. The visible physical person count is one. Identity is an appearance-based candidate only: a person, seated in a ceremonial role on the stage, with saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments as the qualifying cues.
