A staged scene on a temple-like set lit with green and red light. A woman in a pale pink sari with floral print kneels at left, facing a standing figure in an orange-red saffron-toned costume with a gold-trimmed bodice, layered beaded necklaces and a red bangle, who holds a tall ornate staff with a brass top. Behind her a large gilded circular arch frames a draped orange-gold cloth, and a gold trident stands at left beside a gilded shrine element.

A standing figure in orange-saffron robes stands before a golden arched backdrop, holding a tall red-and-silver staff with a trident-like top. The figure wears layered bead necklaces, a gold pendant, earrings, and a forehead marking, with long dark hair. A woman in a pale pink sari with floral print kneels at left, facing the standing figure with her hands joined near her chest. Behind them a golden deity murti of Shiva with a crescent moon appears in a decorated niche, beside a golden trident. The setting is lit in red and green stage lighting. The standing figure's appearance does not clearly match the a person cues, so the role is given as a person in saffron robes holding a staff.2017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13A photograph of a dimly lit temple shrine with red and green lighting. In the foreground, an elderly man with white hair, wearing a white kurta and white dhoti, kneels on a patterned rug with his back to the camera, facing a young girl. She stands in a red-orange sari-like dress with gold jewellery, a red mark on her forehead and a long rudraksha-style necklace, holding a tall wooden staff. Behind them is a gilded arch and a small shrine with a deity murti decorated with garlands, alongside trishula and a brass kalasha-style lamp stand.2017-08-13A photograph of a ceremonial scene in a temple-like hall lit with red and orange light. A young girl stands on the right in a coral-pink dress with a matching shawl, wearing layered rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, a sandalwood tilak on her forehead, and holding a tall ornate staff with a trident-like finial. Beside a gilded arched frame and a lit oil lamp, a man kneels on a striped mat, bare-chested with a white dhoti and red sash, bending forward with hands before the girl's feet in a padapuja-like gesture. Behind them are golden deity murti and ritual objects, including a trident on a brass stand and a kalasha-style vessel. The a person value is unsure because no adult candidate in the appearance-based sense is clearly visible.2017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13 +1 copiesAugust 13 20172017-08-13Warm red and golden stage lighting frames a ceremonial scene. A standing figure in an orange-pink robe wears layered rudraksha and gold necklaces, a gold choker, bangles, a headband with a jewel and a forehead marking; the figure holds a tall staff with hanging bells in one hand and a curved sword in the other. Before a large gilded circular arch, a man in a white dhoti and kurta with glasses and a red-bordered shawl kneels on the steps, one hand extended as if receiving or presenting something. Ornate gold-patterned panels and a green column decorate the background. The figure's appearance with long swept hair, rudraksha malas and ornate adornments fits the a person description, presented as an in-person ceremonial role-play performer; the kneeling man is a devotee.2017-08-13August 13 20172017-08-13 +1 copiesAugust 13 20172017-08-13Warm orange-lit temple hall with golden arched shrine niches, hanging lamps and brass trident stands.
