Photograph of a stage set with gold-ornamented thrones and red cushions at an evening event. On the right, a figure seated on an ornate gold throne wears a dark ceremonial cap, long dark hair, layered beaded necklaces, a garland of red and orange flowers, and a saffron-brown robe, holding a staff. Beside him, a man in a rust-coloured turban and matching robe with gold necklaces and a pink-and-white garland sits on a silver-trimmed chair. Behind them hang red marigold garlands, a gold chariot-style backdrop and a brass lamp stand with oil lamps. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, so the candidate is flagged as probable.

On the left, a bearded man in an orange-brown saffron robe and orange turban with a crescent emblem sits in a silver-and-red chair, his right arm raised and pointing forward, with a garland of white and pink flowers across his shoulders and a rudraksha-style mala around his neck. Beside him, on a larger gold throne, a life-size figure with long dark hair, a crown-like headpiece, a gold necklace and a red-orange garment holds a staff and wears a marigold garland. The setting is decorated with red and white flower garlands hanging on wooden lattice screens, brass lamps and a striped cloth-covered dais. The seated figure on the right appears to be a statue or effigy rather than a living person, so the physical count is one.2017-03-11A seated man in a rust-red turban with a crescent emblem, rust-brown robes, a pink and white garland and a rudraksha-style mala sits on a red-cushioned silver throne with a microphone in front of him.

Behind them stand lit oil lamps on a lattice screen with marigold garlands, and a golden kalasha-style ornament sits near the throne. The page links this scene to a Kalpataru class, but the seated man's appearance is only partly distinctive, so the identity is uncertain.2017-03-11Stage photograph of a seated man in a maroon-red turban with a crescent emblem, dark orange-brown robes, a pink-and-white garland and layered gold necklaces, seated on an ornate red velvet and gold throne with a silver footrest, with a microphone on a stand before him.

Beside him on a second gilded red throne sits a lifelike statue or murti with dark hair, a crown-like headpiece, saffron-brown robe, garlands of yellow and red flowers and a raised blessing hand, holding a staff. Behind them stands a lattice screen hung with red and yellow flower garlands and lit by warm lamps, and a brass lamp stand with a kalasha-like finial sits at the left edge.
