A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold lotus-petal throne with a red velvet cushion, in front of a shrine with deity murtis draped in garlands of white and pink flowers and lit by brass lamps. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned cloth, a heavy gold necklace, a white flower garland and a rudraksha-style mala, with red-thread wristbands. Beside him a person with long braided hair in white clothes sits facing him, and another person in a red sari stands at the right edge. Brass oil lamps and flowers surround the throne. The man is an appearance-based candidate with long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-toned clothing, but the match is uncertain.
