A stage photograph of a ceremony beneath purple spotlight beams. A seated figure with long dark hair and a dark beard, wearing a leopard-print cloth over an orange-brown garment and a garland of flowers, sits on an ornate silver throne with a carved back and a trident hanging beside it. A bare-chested man with light hair kneels and presses a hand to the seated figure's forehead, possibly applying a mark, while another man in a white dhoti stands with a hand near the throne. On the right, a woman in white with folded hands stands, and another woman in white with long hair sits. Their clothes are white and orange-brown. The scene resembles a ritual honouring the seated figure, and the a person field records an appearance-based candidate who is visibly present.

Seated on an ornate silver throne with a carved, floral backrest and a leopard-print cushion is a bare-chested man in a rust-orange cloth, wearing a green-and-white garland and a red tilak on his forehead; his posture is upright and he is smiling. A kneeling man in white ritual dhoti with an orange-red shawl raises his palms and touches the seated man's hands in a gesture of reverence. A standing priest with a shaved head, bare chest and white dhoti holds a ritual object in one hand near the throne, with a trident-like finial visible above. Two onlookers in white and gold-bordered dhotis or saris stand at the left edge, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border sits at the lower right with her hands folded. The seated figure's appearance (long hair swept back, orange cloth, garland, throne) is a candidate for a person; this is an appearance-based label only.2017-09-22 +1 copiesSeptember 22 20172017-09-22 +1 copiesSeptember 22 20172017-09-22A photograph of a stage ceremony with a large ornate silver throne backed by a carved silver arch and a finial.

A man in a white shirt and a red-and-white shawl stands at his right, reaching toward his face with one hand raised, while another raises a palm. A trident leans against the throne's left side, a damaru drum hangs from it, and a gold leopard-patterned cloth drapes from it. Blue stage lights rise behind.
