A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne under a gilded umbrella, in front of red, orange and purple draped fabric. He wears an orange shawl over a rust-brown robe, a multi-strand rudraksha mala with a large ceremonial gold pendant, and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead; he is barefoot on a gold footstool with his palms pressed together. Silver trishula staffs flank the throne, and a small headset microphone is visible. Appearance cues are consistent with a saffron-clad, rudraksha-adorned figure seated on a throne, so the candidate is labelled a person and presented as in person.
