A photograph of an ornate stage set in a warm orange-lit hall, with hanging bells and haze in the air. At centre stands a life-size statue of a bearded figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-brown robe and a gold-toned necklace, holding a long staff in one hand and raising the other arm in blessing. The statue is a figure, not a physical person. Flanking it are carved golden-brown shrine panels and silver-toned deity figures, including a blue-skinned multi-armed deity on the left. A small figure of a seated animal or kneeling offering stands near the base. No living people are visible.

April 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA photograph of an ornate temple-style stage lit in warm orange and red light, with haze in the air. At centre stands a life-size figure dressed in saffron-brown robes with a golden necklace, holding a long staff in one hand and raising the other hand in blessing; this is a statue, not a living person. Flanking it are carved golden panels and a silver-toned deity murti of a seated figure on a throne. Hanging bells dangle from the ceiling above the stage, and a small brass lamp sits at the figure's feet.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30A photograph of a stage set with ornate gilded carved panels and a silver-decorated deity murti on the left. In the centre, a standing life-size figure of a man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange draped garment and gold necklaces, holds a long staff in one hand and raises the other arm. Misty smoke and warm orange-red lighting fill the scene, with hanging bells and a pendant light above. A small brass lamp and offering items sit at the figure's feet. The figure appears to be a statue or cutout rather than a living person, and no physical people are visible.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a stage set with ornate gold and silver temple-style décor, hanging bells, and a hazy orange and pink lighting atmosphere. A single man stands centre stage in a rust-orange robe with a matching shawl, holding a long staff in one hand and raising the other arm, with a beaded necklace visible at his chest. Behind him is a large arched golden frame with carved figures, and a golden lion-like or mythical seated figure sits at his feet beside a brass vessel. Flanking figures and a silver ornamental pillar with a peacock-like motif frame the scene. A single person is physically present on stage. The figure's appearance is consistent with a presentation of a saffron-clad teacher but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA stage photograph under warm orange and red lighting with haze in the air.
