A photograph of a decorated stage at night. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate throne-like seat, a dark red fan-shaped backdrop behind, with a large yellow and red canopy with fringed tassels overhead and garlands of flowers draped over the seat. Brass vessels, a plate of bananas and marigold garlands lie in front of the throne, and a small deity murti in a gilded shrine sits at the right edge. The walls are plain concrete block and the room is draped with patterned red fabric. No other people are visible.

A smiling man seated centrally wears a tall black turban-like headdress with a crescent ornament, a saffron-red robe, a layered gold and bead necklace, a marigold garland and gold armbands; he appears to be the honoured figure, and his appearance matches the a person cues of a tall turban and ornate ceremonial garments, though identity is uncertain.

A third attendant in dark clothing stands at the right holding a staff, and a crowd is visible in the dark background at left.2016-03-07December 12 20122012-12-12A seated man in a decorated ornate golden crown and orange-red ceremonial robes sits on a flower-garlanded wooden platform framed by marigold and yellow garland arches. He holds a long white rod across his lap and wears a white flower garland, gold necklace and gold armlets. Behind him hang red and white curtains, and hanging decorations with peacock feathers and small pots adorn the canopy. Oil lamps glow at the lower right, and a dark ornate textile sits on the left. The setting suggests a staged Krishna Janmashtami celebration, though the seated figure is not clearly identifiable.2017-08-14March 07 20162016-03-07A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne (peetha) on a stage before a red backdrop with woven panels.
