Some hold their palms together or reach forward in devotion. A dark curtain forms the back of the stage. The figure on the throne cannot be confirmed as a person from appearance alone, so the identity is uncertain.2008-07-17December 22 20092009-12-22Indoor event photographed from behind the audience, with many seated devotees facing a stage hung with red drapes and decorative woven banners with tassels. On the stage stands a gilded ornate throne with a canopy, beside a standing golden figure.
