Photo of a stage set at an evening event, with a seated figure in the centre on a gilded red throne before a large pink lotus backdrop, a crescent moon and a golden trident. The seated figure wears a rust-orange robe, hands pressed together in anjali. In front, devotees sit on the floor: a woman in rust-orange with a saffron shawl playing a small instrument on the left, several men in white kurtas kneeling with folded hands, and a woman in a blue sari near a tall golden multi-tier lamp of many lit oil lamps on the right. A painted city skyline with domed buildings forms the backdrop. The seated figure matches the page's description of a person only by seating and robe colour, so the identity is uncertain. Visible people: about ten.

A seated figure in rust-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits smiling on an ornate golden throne with a large pink lotus backdrop and a painted trident in the upper right. A bare-headed attendant in saffron wrap on the left holds a tiered brass aarti lamp stand lit with oil lamps. Around the throne, several women in white and red-bordered saris, one in a green shawl, and a man in white kneel and sit, some holding small brass lamps and plates.

A large trident and a cityscape painting complete the setting, consistent with an aarti or puja ceremony.2014-05-21A photograph of a ceremonial reception on a stage with a large golden throne backed by pink lotus petals and a golden crescent. A seated figure in a rust-red robe and matching red turban sits on the throne, wearing a white and orange flower garland, with bare feet resting on a pink flower offering. Standing to the left, several people in saffron-orange shawls and white dhotis bow or stand, one bending low with hands together; one holds a bunch of marigold garlands. On the right, a bare-chested attendant in a rust cloth holds a ceremonial trident and a brass tray. Dark blue draped tent fabric forms the backdrop. A possible identity cue for the seated figure is the red turban and ceremonial garlands, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm the candidate.2014-05-21December 22 20102010-12-22A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands joined in namaskar, wearing an orange robe, a long garland of white and red flowers, a rudraksha-style mala and a red tilak on the forehead.
