Outdoor ceremony at an amphitheatre with a large stepped audience of many seated people in white. A tall flower-decorated lingam-like shrine with a marigold-garlanded base stands at the left above a shallow reflecting pool. On a red-draped stage, two men in orange robes stand, and a seated figure in red and gold sits on a golden throne-like seat. Brass vessels sit near the base of the shrine. A screen above the seating shows a live feed.

Rows of seated audience fill tiered red steps in the background, and a stone wall with a banner stands behind them under a clear blue sky. The seated figure wears red and gold and is too small to determine identity from appearance, so no a person identification is made. Marigold and yellow garlands, brass pots and a flower-covered pedestal frame the scene.2016-12-19Wide photograph of an outdoor amphitheatre-style setting beside a reflecting pool. In the centre a large rectangular stage draped in red cloth holds seated figures in orange robes and white clothing around a low dais. Behind them stands a tall ornate structure decorated with yellow, orange and white garlands and flowers, shaped like a chariot or ratha with a central framed panel. A woman in a magenta sari stands near the structure. Tiered red seating behind the stage is filled with a large audience of people in white and mixed clothing, and a camera boom extends across the right side. The pool's still water mirrors the stage and garlanded structure. Rituals appear to involve a puja or padapuja setting, though the exact ceremony is not clearly legible.2016-12-03Outdoor photograph of a large flower-decorated ceremonial structure with a yellow, orange and purple floral canopy and a striped fabric base, set on a red-draped stage above a water-filled tank.
