A photograph of a stage-like entrance framed by two large painted statues of four-armed deities with crowns and ornate jewelry, holding attributes in their hands. Between them, a standing man in a rust-red robe with a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace holds a long silver staff, with a tiger skin draped on a seat behind him and strings of small lights hanging around him. Oil lamps and a golden brass vessel stand in the foreground under warm orange and green lighting. The page does not state a person was present, and the figure's appearance does not clearly establish his identity, so he is described by role only.
