Photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne with intricate repoussé carvings and a leopard-print cushion, in front of red curtains. He wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over one shoulder with bare arm and chest visible, a white vertical forehead mark, and a dark beard; his long dark hair is swept back. He leans slightly to one side with one arm extended along the armrest, a microphone on a stand to the right, and a silver ceremonial staff standing beside the throne. A small framed portrait sits on a silver stand near his lap. Appearance-based candidate for a person, seated on the throne as presiding speaker; the portrait depicts a man in a similar setting.
