A bearded man with long swept-back hair wears an orange-saffron shawl over a saffron robe and sits smiling on an ornate white-and-red throne. A silver trident stands to his left, and a small microphone is clipped near his face. Before him is a low wooden platform with a glass of water and offerings. A large audience sits on the floor in white and colourful clothing, some in traditional dhotis with gold borders; the venue has white walls and a large screen behind. Distinctive saffron robes, long hair and the throne suggest the a person candidate, though the face is not clearly identifiable for certainty.
