A photograph of a ceremonial Tulabharam setup on a stage decorated with multicoloured tassels and flower garlands. A man seated cross-legged on a patterned rug wears a golden crown, a pink-and-white flower garland, gold necklaces and armbands, and a rust-brown dhoti-style garment. Chains hang from a golden beam to a balance pan piled with golden cloth bundles on the right. Painted deity murti figures stand behind the stage, and a golden lion sculpture sits at the lower left. Garlands of red, white and purple flowers wrap the wooden pillars. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a golden crown, flower garland and ornate gold jewellery, matching the page's Tulabharam event.
