A photograph of a seated man on a gilded throne with a red cushion, garlanded with white and pink flower chains, wearing an orange-saffron robe and waving his right hand while smiling. Several people in white dhotis and shirts stand and kneel around the throne, with a woman in a yellow sari and a white-haired older woman in a green sari at the right. Behind them a backdrop shows a yellow-orange sunburst with a stylized white bird emblem. The figure on the throne in saffron robes with a garland and throne setting fits the page's description of an appearance-based candidate, so this is a person seated in darshan, with devotees in white around him.
