A bald man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl stands at left, lifting a silver vessel over two gilded bronze deity murtis, one a multi-armed standing form holding a sword and trident and the other a slender figure in dark garments, set on a tray. A man in white dhoti and shawl with flower garlands stands at the left edge. Behind them a large banner shows a smiling face in a turban and a Tamil-script heading. Seated on a gilded throne draped with red and white flower garlands, a long-haired figure in orange clothes with a mala and rudraksha-style beads rests hands on the armrests, watching the ritual. Marigold and rose garlands hang on the throne; the stage has an orange canopy above.2012-01-08December 20 20112011-12-20
