A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red turban and matching rust-orange robes on a stage, with a long beard, a long gold-beaded necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and a striped cloth draped over his lap. Behind him is a gold bronze figure of a deity with a bull (nandi) and a trident beside him; a red curtain and carved wooden doors form the backdrop. Green-lit potted plants, brass lamps and a microphone stand surround the stage. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in a talk-setting role with the bull statue and trident placed beside him.
