A bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti and shawl, hair in a bun, holds up a lit oil lamp with his right hand in an aarti gesture toward a seated figure. The seated man wears a deep red-orange robe, a long flower garland of pink and white blooms, and sits on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion and a carved lion armrest, with a silver trident leaning beside him. Behind, a large silver throne is draped in red and white garlands. Brass vessels and rose petals sit on the stage. The seated man shows a distinctive long hair and beard, but the appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm identity, so he is described only by role as the seated guru.2018-05-19April 22 20182018-04-22May 19 20182018-05-19 +1 copiesMay 19 20182018-05-19May 19 20182018-05-19A ceremonial stage scene with a seated man in saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, his hair tied up in a dark topknot, seated on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions beneath a silver canopy.
