A photograph of a ceremonial scene on a decorated stage with a golden-yellow wooden door and painted pillars. A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a tiger-striped cushion within a swing-like canopy hung with chains and garlands of red, pink and white flowers. He wears a gold crown, a gold necklace, a white flower garland and gold armbands, with eyes closed. Attendants in orange robes stand beside the swing; one holds the swing frame, another, with long dreadlocked hair, carries a large polished silver vessel hanging from the canopy, and a man in white dhoti and shawl stands at the right. Brass lamps stand at the left edge.

A photograph of a ceremonial stage set with gold and orange decor and a painted temple backdrop. A seated man in an orange-red robe, wearing a gold ornate crown, gold necklaces and a white flower garland, sits cross-legged on a tiger-skin-covered golden swing seat hung on chains and wrapped in pink and white flower garlands. Two men in orange cloth help steady the swing. On the right, a man with long dreadlocks in an orange robe pours from a metal vessel into a large silver urn on a second garlanded swing, while a bare-chested man in a white dhoti assists. A figure on the left is identified only by appearance and role, and the crown and robes are consistent with a person candidate seated in ceremony, so this is recorded as an uncertain in-person depiction.2017-07-30 +1 copiesJuly 30 20172017-07-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremony on a decorated swing platform hung with chains and red, pink and white flower garlands.
