On a raised stage, a seated figure in a rust-orange turban and orange robe sits before a golden Nandi bull and golden deity murti framed by marigold garlands, lamps and string lights. Golden Shiva-related sculptures flank a silver-framed central seat, and video camera tripods stand near the platform. Red velvet drapes and golden panels complete the backdrop. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, with a turban and orange robe, but the cues are limited, so the identity is uncertain.2017-12-02 +1 copies
