Several men seated cross-legged on a red patterned rug on a raised stage before deep red curtains and a golden relief of hands in mudra. Most wear white dhoti-style cloth with red-orange shawls and beaded necklaces with garlands, and some have white tripundra markings on their foreheads. Two gilded thrones with red cushions stand behind them. The man seated third from left wears a white shawl and ornate gold-beaded necklaces; he is a person on stage, with no distinctive presentation cues marking him as a person.2017-08-15May 20 20172017-05-20Six men in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls sit cross-legged on a raised stage in front of a golden throne and a lotus-motif backdrop. Several wear rudraksha malas and wooden-bead necklaces, and a few have sandalwood or vibhuti markings on their foreheads. A decorative multicoloured woven rug covers the platform edge, with brass lamps and a ceremonial staff at the left. No figure with distinctive a person cues is clearly visible, so the identity is left unsure.2017-05-20A photo of a gilded stage with a large golden throne and golden ornamental pillars under maroon drapes. A man with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and an orange cloth sits centrally on a red-cushioned seat, seemingly speaking into a microphone; this appearance-based candidate's identity is uncertain. Seated on the stage floor are men in white dhotis with orange shawls and women in white saris with red-bordered trim, some with garlands, facing him on colourful striped mats.
