A photograph of a stage event with a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a cobra-hood canopy and leopard-print cushions, wearing an orange-red dhoti, a yellow flower garland and a small gold headpiece. A woman in a green blouse, orange shawl and black skirt, with white flowers in her hair, bends forward to offer a red-and-gold gift box. Nearby, performers in costume stand: a woman in purple and red robes, a man with long dark hair and bare upper body wearing a white dhoti and beads, and a child in green at the right edge. Behind them is a painted temple-pillar backdrop in pink and blue. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate: long swept-back hair, a gold crown-like headpiece, ornate orange clothing and a garland. Visible people: the throned figure, the woman offering the box, and several costumed performers.
