A ceremonial darshan scene on a raised red-draped platform. A seated man in a silver ornate throne with leopard-print cushions and carved lion armrests holds his face in his hands, wearing a thick garland of red and white flowers and an orange-red garment. Beside him, a standing attendant in orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with white body markings and a dark turban, holds an oil lamp toward him. Behind them, a deity murti is decorated with red and white flower garlands and a crown, and brass vessels and a kalasha sit on a green-draped table. A trident leans against the throne and a backdrop shows a sunset landscape.

A seated man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a maroon lower garment and a white and red floral garland, sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, hands joined in namaskar. Before him stands a deity murti draped with red and white flower garlands, seated on a golden pedestal with a red and gold garment. A young attendant in an orange-red cloth holds a lit lamp toward the murti, and another person in white sits behind near brass bowls of offerings and oil lamps. A red cloth covers the floor in front of the throne, scattered with petals. A trident stands beside the throne. Appearance-based probable match for a person in the seated figure, shown by long swept-back hair, bare chest and the floral garland on a silver throne.2018-05-19 +1 copiesMay 19 20182018-05-19May 19 20182018-05-19A photograph of a ceremonial stage with a seated man on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion and silver lion armrests.

The attendant is a devotee in saffron robes.2018-05-19 +1 copiesMay 19 20182018-05-19A photograph of a ceremonial puja on a stage before a floral-decorated silver throne with a carved lion-face armrest and a leopard-print cushion. A bare-chested man with long hair and a sindoor-style forehead mark, wearing a red-brown cloth, is seated on the throne, his hand raised toward the head of a man in a pink shirt kneeling before him. Two attendants in saffron-orange dhotis stand nearby: one bare-chested with dreadlocks and rudraksha beads, the other holding a folded cloth and assisting the blessing. A trident leans against the left side of the throne, and a backdrop shows a glowing temple tower with a starry sky. Garlands in red, yellow, purple and white decorate the throne canopy. The seated figure appears to be a person, conducting the ceremony in the role of the presiding teacher.2018-04-25May 19 20182018-05-19 +2 copiesA seated man in saffron-red robes and a matching red turban sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, with a silver trident beside him and a silver lion figure at the base.
