A photograph of an ornate golden stage set with carved golden lion-headed pillars, lamp stands with trident tops, and painted deity murals behind. A single man stands in a central doorway draped with strings of lights, wearing a rust-orange kurta and dhoti, with one hand on his hip and the other resting on a tall trident. A small bronze deity figure with a lamp and a golden seat sit on the carpeted, striped platform in front. A candidate matching the a person description is present (probable), identified by the long dark hair, orange-rust ritual attire and trident held as a staff; the attribution rests on appearance cues only.
