A stage set decorated as a temple facade, with large gilded lion-like guardian sculptures flanking both sides and gold pillars with carved panels. Tridents stand on pedestals in the foreground. In the central niche, a figure with dark hair and a reddish-brown shirt stands holding a long staff, beside a small golden figure and a trident on the backdrop. Blue and pink painted walls, red curtain above, and warm stage lighting complete the scene. The figure appears to be a life-size statue or display figure rather than a living person.

May 13 20152015-05-13A photograph of an ornate stage set with golden lion-headed pillars and carved gold gateway structures framed by blue and teal painted panels and a maroon velvet curtain above. A standing man in a rust-orange kurta and dark trousers holds a tall trident between the central gateway pillars, with a small figure or idol visible within the dark recess behind him. Brass trident stands and a golden urn-like vessel sit on the stage floor in front, and hanging brass bells with string lights hang from the top. A single person is visible; the pictured setting appears to be a ceremonial stage display. Appearance is uncertain for the standing man, so no identity is asserted.2015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13A golden ornamental stage set with carved rearing lion pillars and blue painted walls with multicolored motifs. A standing man in a rust-orange kurta and dhoti holds a trident (trishul) upright in front of a dark backdrop lit with rows of small warm lamps. Brass oil lamps stand on either side of the platform, and a brass urn and a small ornate kalasha-like vessel sit at his feet. Overhead hang brass bells. Above the stage, a figure with raised arms appears in the painted backdrop. The man's identity is not established from appearance alone; the page notes a person was at this event, but the visible cues (shoulder-length dark hair, rust kurta, trident) are not distinctive enough to confirm it, so he is described only by role as a performer on the stage.2015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13Stage set for a satsang, framed by ornate golden lion-headed pillars and a deep red velvet valance hung with small bells.
