A man in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti and matching shawl stands on a white stage, one arm raised in an explanatory gesture, wearing a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style beaded mala. Behind him are golden thrones draped with red cushions, flanked by two decorative statues of standing deities in green and red garments with crowns, and a seated pair of richly garlanded murtis in yellow and orange, one with a crown and a silver necklace. A lion-shaped throne and a small blue-and-white wave photograph sit at the sides, with brass oil lamps on stands before a blue temple-style backdrop with pink and green pillars and a wooden door. A clear lectern stands at left under a maroon velvet valance.

Behind him is an ornate golden throne with red velvet cushions and lion-shaped armrests, flanked by two painted deity statues holding ceremonial objects. Brass oil lamps stand along the platform, and burgundy velvet drapes frame a blue and pink temple-style backdrop. The throne-like seat is empty. The man is a presenter on stage; the a person label is not used here because the cues are only a saffron-coloured robe and a mala, with no hair or crown, so identity is unsure.2013-09-21September 21 20132013-09-21
