The figure has long dark hair. The stage is decorated with green and white draped fabric swags, garlands of marigold-like flowers along the curtain frames, and white tablecloths on low tables. Green and teal lighting fills the hall, with a ceiling fan at the right edge. A kalasha-like vessel and small offerings sit near the throne. The seated figure is a depiction-free physical presence on stage and appears to be a sannyasi on a peetha; identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2009-01-18A seated figure in red robes and a red turban sits on an ornate golden throne decorated with flower garlands in yellow, white and multicolour, on a raised stage. A rudraksha-style bead necklace hangs on the chest, and a trident stands behind the throne. A golden palanquin-style cart with a deity murti draped in red and garlands sits to the left. Brass oil lamps stand in front, and the backdrop painted with blue and gold mountain peaks. The figure matches the a person appearance cues of an ornate throne, red saffron-toned robes, garlands and bead necklace; the throne and garlands are not themselves proof of identity.2010-12-22July 12 20092009-07-12
