A figure in an orange saffron shawl and wrap stands on a raised stone platform beside a large seated deity murti with a pink and red sari, green border and ornate crown, arranging red and orange cloth over its lap. A white cloth with gold border drapes a seat below. Oil lamps and a brass lamp stand on the platform in dim temple lighting, with stone carved pillars and a red curtain behind. Arm and shoulder cues are visible, but the figure's face and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; the page ties the event to the Brahmotsavam flag and Kalabhishekam rites.

Beside them a second person in orange kneels before a brass stand with a lamp and offerings on a yellow-and-brown base. In the centre a white cloth-draped seat is covered with an orange-and-gold cloth. At right stands a large painted or sculpted deity figure in pink and green dress with gold jewellery and a crown. Stone pillars and a dark ceiling frame the scene. The standing figure shows swept-back long hair and orange robes, a person cue; the identification is uncertain, so the person is recorded as unsure.2008-01-03
