Two large painted dvarapala guardian figures with flame-like crowns and staffs flank the stage. The seated figure wears saffron-orange robes, a beaded rudraksha-style necklace and a tilak on the forehead. Below, a bald man in orange robes sits with folded hands, a woman in a white sari with a gold border sits to the right, and a priest in white dhoti on the left sits beside a microphone and a brass oil lamp. Brass lamps stand on the floor and a hanging row of lamps decorates the throne area. Physical people visible: about four.

The seated figure wears saffron robes and a rudraksha mala; the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so only the role is given.2013-03-01A seated man in a golden ornate throne sits centrally in a colourful temple hall with pink, green and yellow painted pillars. He wears a saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala, and rests his hands on the throne's armrests. The throne has a zebra-print cushion and a golden crown-like top. Flanked by two large painted guardian figures holding maces and wearing golden ornaments, the throne sits on a golden pedestal. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in orange cloth holds a flame near the throne, while two women in white saris sit with folded hands and a man in grey shirt sits at right. The man on the throne has long hair and a saffron robe, consistent with the a person candidate cues, but his appearance is not conclusive.2013-04-09February 28 20132013-02-28April 09 20132013-04-09 +2 copies
