Stage photo at an indoor hall event. A seated figure sits on an ornate golden throne with a tiered golden canopy and red cushions, wearing a red head covering and a garland of red-and-white flowers, which marks the central figure as the honoured guest. Around the stage, about eight people stand in traditional and casual dress: a man in white dhoti with a red shawl at left, a man in a dark patterned shirt and white dhoti beside him, a seated man in blue shirt and shorts in front, and several women in pink, red and orange saris and salwar kameez holding papers. A painted blue deity figure with a crown stands on a backdrop decorated with hanging drums. Black draped stage skirting and a camera on a tripod are in the foreground.

A stage photograph of a ritual-style session with ornate gold and red decor. A seated figure in pink on a gold-and-red throne is garlanded in pink and red flowers, with a golden canopy above. Beside them a deity murti with a crown sits on a purple cloth draped with an orange-marigold garland. On the left, a man in white dhoti and red shawl and a woman in a cream sari with red blouse stand near a barefoot man in a blue shirt seated on the floor. On the right, several people in pink, red and white clothing hold papers, with red and black blindfolds worn by many. Drum-shaped and serpent-motif decorations hang on the backdrop. Visible people: about seven.

Stage photograph of a ceremonial scene under a pink fabric canopy with a large screen behind showing an ornate temple corridor. A seated man in red-brown robes with long beaded necklaces sits on a gold ornate throne with red cushions, a small golden lion figure at his feet. Around him, a bare-chested young boy in white dhoti stands at left, and a man in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl holds a trident beside a woman in orange sari who bows. Two women stand at right, one in orange with garlands and one in a green sari, arranged in a devotional ritual setting.

Stage photograph of a ceremony in progress on a red-draped platform under a large LED backdrop showing a temple-like hall. A bearded man in a rust-brown robe with a long gold-and-beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, bare-footed. Around him, several attendants: a man in an orange garment with long dark hair stands in front of the throne; a man in white dhoti with gold border and a shaved-head priest-like figure with a trident-tipped bronze ornament stand nearby; a bare-chested young boy in white dhoti stands at left; a woman in a deep green sari with gold jewellery and a woman in orange stand at right. A small gold figure of a seated deity or animal sits on a stand at the front, with puja offerings on the floor. Lotus motifs decorate the side panels.

A photograph of a stage event under a tent with a gold-draped canopy. Behind the stage hangs a large painted backdrop of a multi-armed deity murti with red and orange figures in a colourful folk style. A seated figure in saffron-orange clothing with a red cushion sits on a gilded throne in the centre, with a red carpet in front. Around him stand several people: a shaved-headed man in orange robes on the left, men in white dhotis with gold borders, a young boy in a red shirt, and women in red and pink saris holding a microphone. Standing on the right is a figure in a red-and-orange robe with a rudraksha mala. Several people in white and red saris stand near the throne. Appearance cues for the seated figure are not sufficient to confirm identity, so the role is described as a seated figure on a throne.
