A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on an ornate yellow throne-like chair with black carved wooden arms and yellow cushions, in front of a deep maroon velvet curtain. He wears an orange saffron wrap and a long necklace of large gold-toned beads, eyes closed, hands resting on his lap, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated and addressing an audience.
