A man seated on an ornate white and red throne chair speaks into a microphone on a stand, hands open in front of him. He wears a rust-red turban with a crescent moon and jeweled ornaments, a red-brown dhoti-style garment and shawl, gold armlets, a gold necklace, and multiple gold garlands. Behind him is a gold-toned decorative backdrop with cutout lattice panels. A silver ceremonial staff stands at left and a small brass vessel sits near the base of the throne. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated speaking on the throne. Visible cues include the turban with crescent and jewels, saffron-brown ceremonial clothing and gold garlands, consistent with a discourse setting.
