A photograph of an ornate golden throne (peetha) on a stage lit by green and yellow spotlight beams. A seated figure in orange-red robes wears a long white-and-yellow flower garland and a golden crown, holding a staff in one hand. Golden lion sculptures flank the throne, and a golden multi-tiered backrest rises behind the figure. The light beams and a figure seated on a raised throne suggest a stage display; the figure is a statue or effigy rather than a clearly visible living person, so it is unclear whether this is an in-person candidate.
