The figure wears a red and orange turban-cloth, a purple garment with gold and ruby-studded necklaces, and long garlands of white jasmine and red roses, with a gold bead mala draped down the side. Its raised hands hold ceremonial objects, and a red cloth backdrop and carved silver arch frame the statue.

He holds a microphone in one hand and gestures with the other while speaking. Behind him stands a large black deity murti with multiple arms, a golden crown, a coiled hooded serpent overhead, and layered gold-and-pearl necklaces, flanked by a silver trident. A seated man in white dhoti and a woman in red sari sit at the stage edges. Glowing light arcs frame the scene.2016-12-12Outdoor photograph of a cultural procession presentation on a dirt ground in front of a large black stone statue of a seated deity with a multi-hooded serpent canopy behind its head, draped in red cloth, white and gold jewellery, and rainbow-coloured floral garlands. Seated in front on a gold-framed throne is a figure in a red-brown robe and rudraksha beads, with a crown-like headpiece, hands in a meditative pose. Standing on both sides in a broad semicircle are about 40 performers in costume: children and young adults wearing gold crowns, green, orange, yellow and blue traditional costumes, garlands, and some holding a staff, a trident-like staff, and drums. A red and yellow building and rocky hills appear in the background under hazy skies.2017-12-16 +1 copiesDecember 12 20162016-12-12 +1 copiesDecember 18 20172017-12-18
