A photograph of a golden ornate stage at an event. On the left, three life-size figures in maroon and gold turbans and heavy gold-and-white garland necklaces sit on a red-draped golden seat; they appear to be statues or murti-like figures. On the right, a man with long braided hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, sits cross-legged on a golden throne with lion-shaped armrests against deep red velvet drapes and smiles. The man has a person appearance based on the long braided hair, saffron robe and seated throne cues, with the throne and seated pose. The figures on the left are statues, not people.
