Ornate golden stage set under a pink tent canopy, with red draped table cloth in front. Center: a gilded arched shrine-throne with a central seated figure in red and orange robes, wearing a golden necklace and a red floral garland, flanked by golden columns. Left: a second golden throne with a rainbow-coloured floral garland and a golden peacock-style base. Right: a carved golden panel. A flat-screen monitor sits in front of the stage and a small brass oil lamp stands at the right edge. The seated figure is a seated figure on a throne; no clear appearance-based a person cue is visible, so identity is unsure. No people are visible in the crowd area.2015-01-13Photograph of a festive stage under a pink-and-white tent canopy. Centre, a large ornate gilded throne-shrine with an arched canopy holds a seated figure wearing an orange-red garment and a garland of red, white and yellow flowers.
