Photograph of a ceremonial stage with three large golden peetha thrones draped in garlands. The central throne holds a deity murti adorned with yellow and multicoloured flower garlands, and a golden bull and lion-like carvings flank it. Two golden standing female figures stand between thrones. Left and right thrones hold seated deity murtis decorated with marigold garlands, the right one in a blue cloth. Seated in the centre on a silver-trimmed red cushioned seat is a man in saffron-orange robes, a red-orange turban, a rudraksha mala and long dark hair, his palms pressed together in prayer. A standing figure in saffron cloth at the far left raises folded hands. Red velvet curtains and oil lamps are on the stage, with a microphone stand in front of the central seat.
