The shrine is framed by a patterned backdrop with a glowing circular halo above the centre, and flower decorations line the base. Appears to be a temple darshan or padapuja setting. The central figure is seated in a shrine display rather than clearly a visible living person, and no reliable appearance cues establish identity.2011-11-30 +2 copiesA photograph of an ornate temple altar decorated for a ceremony.

A figure in orange robes sits centrally on a red and gold throne beneath a large golden umbrella canopy. Behind the throne stands a tall decorated deity murti with a crown and multiple arms, flanked by golden floral and lamp arrangements. Decorated pedestals with garlands and flowers stand on either side. Blue-grey draped backdrop and stage lights frame the scene. The seated figure's face and build are too small and indistinct to confirm an appearance-based candidate, so the identity remains uncertain.2010-11-22A photograph of a ceremonial stage set in a temple-like hall.
