A photograph of a staged temple-style set with ornate gold-painted pillars, rearing golden lions on either side, and a blue and pink painted backdrop with hanging bells and trishula-topped lamp stands. A single man stands centred in an archway wearing a rust-orange kurta with a dark waist wrap and holding a long wooden staff. He has long dark hair and a beard, and no crown, turban or rudraksha is visible. Brass oil lamps and a lion-headed pedestal sit in front, and a painted goddess figure with raised arms appears to the left. The scene reads as a ceremonial stage backdrop rather than a live rite.

He wears a rust-orange kurta with a matching wrap and a red-orange dhoti tied at the waist, long dark hair, and a gold chain at the neck. He holds a long staff in one hand, with a small bell hanging from it, and gestures with the other arm. Around him are golden lion-headed pillars, lamps on stands with trident finials, and a golden trident leaning against the frame. Behind him hang strings of small lights and metal bells, and at the sides stand painted multi-armed deity murti in blue-and-pink decor.2015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13
