July 19 20132013-07-19July 20 20132013-07-20Indoor ritual scene in a pink-walled room with a red curtain and a ceiling speaker. On the left, a man with long swept-back hair, a gold necklace, a red garland and an orange wrap sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne. He is smiling and appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the long hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron wrap. In the centre, a gold-framed niche holds two deity murtis draped in multicoloured flower garlands, one pink-clad and one with a yellow-and-green garment. In front of them, a child in a white dhoti and orange turban sits with folded hands, and a young girl in a red sari sits beside them. On the right, a bald priest in an orange dhoti and shawl holds a lit oil lamp aarti toward the deities. A silver stand with garlands stands at the edge, and a red patterned carpet covers the floor.2013-07-19Indoor temple-style stage set with a gold and red throne on the left, where a long-haired man in orange garments, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace sits seated with a garland.

Two people sit on the white floor before them: one in white ritual clothing with an orange turban and beaded necklaces, another in a maroon and gold garment.

Centre, a large ornate heart-shaped throne with gold lion figures sits before a deity backdrop of a goddess holding a lotus, with a gilded tree motif above. Seated on the throne is a figure in an orange-gold turban and gold necklaces, not clearly identifiable as an in-person candidate; he appears to be a statue or depiction with a beaded garland and an orange drink on a small table beside him. To the left, a large golden deity murti with a raised trident and a red garland stands by a banner. Right, a gold canopied palanquin with floral garlands and brass lamps on a patterned rug.2016-10-08April 25 20182018-04-25 +1 copiesOctober 08 20162016-10-08A stage scene in a temple-style hall with a red curtain and a green draped backdrop. A man seated on a gold throne with leopard-print cushions wears an orange-brown robe, a saffron turban, gold armbands and a pink flower garland, holding his hands together in front of a microphone stand. To the right, a richly ornamented golden arched shrine holds a deity murti decked with yellow and red garlands, gold crown and jewelry, seated on an orange cloth. Two people in orange-saffron robes stand at right, one holding a small glass vessel and reaching toward the murti. Flower-decorated seats and offerings sit on the stage floor. The man on the throne is an appearance-based a person candidate in a seated, honoured position with a saffron turban and gold ornaments, so the identification remains uncertain.2017-11-11
