A staged photo of a tableau in front of a gilded arched backdrop. Two large deity murtis, a male figure in blue-grey with a crown and a female figure in red with a black crown, sit on a green cloth draped over a raised platform, both wearing layered silver jewellery and heavy garlands of red roses, white flowers and yellow marigolds. In front, four young performers sit on the floor: two girls on the left and right play large drums, a boy in blue with a yellow garland holds his hands in mudra, and a girl in brown with a yellow garland sits in the centre. Their faces have white vibhuti marks, and the girls wear purple, orange and pink dress. A white floor-standing air conditioner stands at the right edge.

Four performers flank them playing large two-headed drums, including a figure in purple and another in pink and orange. Figures are painted with face makeup and wear white tilak marks.

Two seated deity murtis, a male figure with a trident-marked head and a female figure in red, sit on a green draped platform before a gold arched backdrop. Both are heavily garlanded with red, white and orange flower garlands and ornate silver jewellery. A man stands at left in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a red flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, with one arm in a white bandage and a hand raised in a blessing gesture. Two female figures, one in a magenta sari playing a hand drum and one in red playing a drum, flank the deities as statues. The man appears to be a person giving a discourse, and a person cue appears through the saffron clothing, garland and rudraksha beads.2013-10-03
