A photograph of a festival stage at a temple-style hall with a dark curtained backdrop and a fan on the ceiling. On the left, a man in an orange-brown dhoti and an unadorned upper body, wearing a beaded necklace, smiles and raises one hand in greeting beside a gilded vahana-style figure of a peacock-like bird mounted on a cart with red wheels, draped with garlands of red, white and green flowers. In the centre, an empty ornate throne is decorated with arches of marigold and white flower garlands and a tiger-skin carpet on its gold base. On the right, two deity murti figures in pink and blue silk sit under a gilded arch wreathed with garlands. A red and gold patterned carpet covers the floor.

A man in orange-saffron robes with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a gold-trimmed throne (peetha) framed by a rainbow arch of red, yellow, purple and white flower garlands. Flanking him on the left and right are two decorated deity murti on pedestals, one dressed in green and wrapped in green and red garlands and the other with gold ornaments and a green silk skirt, both adorned with flower garlands. A maroon velvet curtain forms the backdrop, with a gold-trimmed low table and a patterned rug in front. A plain fan hangs from the ceiling. The only physical person is the seated man; the murti are statues.2013-04-22November 28 20172017-11-28November 27 20172017-11-27November 26 20172017-11-26
