Close photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gilded throne with carved floral scrollwork, against a deep maroon drape. He wears a brown silk turban with a white feather and gold jewelled ornaments, a red-brown tilak on his forehead, and a small clip-on microphone near his cheek. He is bare-chested with multiple strands of orange-brown beads with gold and rudraksha-style pendants, gold chain-mail style shoulder drapes and gold armbands. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on a peetha throne in a darshan setting.
