A man stands centre stage at a large event, wearing a maroon turban with a crescent ornament, a rich red-maroon dhoti-style garment with a leopard-print wrap at the waist, a heavy gold necklace and layered beaded garlands, and gold armbands. He holds a tall silver trident beside him. Behind him, a large white sculpted rock-like backdrop features small Shiva lingam and deity murti forms, lit by red and orange bokeh lights on a screen. Two gold lion-head pedestals flank him. Appearance-based candidate, a person, with a turban, gold ornaments and crimson ceremonial attire, standing as the central speaker.
