A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back hair and rudraksha malas holds a microphone and speaks on a stage before a silver throne-like seat flanked by silver lion figures. Beside him a man in a magenta kurta sits cross-legged on white cloth. Several women in white and gold saris stand to the right; one in a purple and gold sari holds a bowl and wears a head covering, and another in a red top presses her hands together. Behind them are painted deity murtis, painted pillars with lotus-style tops, and a wooden door. A silver bowl, stacks of leaves and yellow flowers sit on the stage.

A bearded man with long hair, orange-saffron robes, rudraksha beads and a tilak sits on a leopard-skin-covered seat before a large silver ornate throne-like backrest, speaking into a handheld microphone. Two silver lion statues flank him, and a silver bowl of flowers and stacks of silver plates sit before him. A man in a magenta kurta sits cross-legged on the floor facing him. Several women stand to the right, one in a purple striped sari with a white head covering holding a bowl, another in white with folded hands, and one in a red top. A standing deity murti figure stands on the left.2018-01-08A seated man with long dark hair, a tripundra forehead mark, an orange-red robe and a dark rudraksha mala sits on a leopard-print cushion behind a silver bowl on a pedestal stage. Two silver lion figures flank the seat, and painted dvarapala guardian figures with crowns and green dhotis stand on either side in front of a carved wooden door. Ritual vessels and steel pots sit on the floor at right, and a wall of small black-and-white photographs hangs beside the stage. The man's cues are his long swept hair, rudraksha mala and saffron robe, so he is a person seated in person as the presiding figure of the ritual setting.2018-01-08January 08 20182018-01-08January 08 20182018-01-08January 08 20182018-01-08January 08 20182018-01-08
