Seven young men stand in a row on a raised stage with ornate silver-and-gold decorative panels behind them, a red curtain and a red-cushioned throne-like seat at right. Most wear saffron-orange dhoti-style garments with gold borders and red-and-black woven shawls, while two wear white dhotis with gold borders. They have rudraksha malas and flower garlands around their necks, and some wear bangles. Behind them stand figures of deities and a decorated umbrella hangs above. Golden floral arrangements sit at the lower right edge of the stage.2015-09-11 +1 copiesFebruary 13 20182018-02-13February 13 20182018-02-13September 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesFebruary 13 20182018-02-13Photograph of a ceremonial performance on a stage with a deep red curtain.
