A photograph of a stage event. A man in saffron robes with a long braid kneels on the red stage carpet before a seated man in orange-brown robes, rudraksha-style beaded mala and ceremonial gold necklace, who smiles and extends his open hand toward him. The seated man sits in a carved wooden chair beside a silver trishul and a water bottle. Behind them stand two people in orange and white, and a large ornate golden throne and relief sculpture of deities and figures fill the backdrop. The kneeling man, the standing attendants and the seated man are the physical people; the carved panels are not counted.
