A photograph of a single robed figure standing with palms pressed together in namaste on an illuminated stage. The figure wears a red-orange saffron garment and a multi-strand beaded necklace with ornate gold pendants. Behind is an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy umbrella and red and orange floral garland draping, flanked by two tall gold oil lamps with bird-topped finials and vases of orange flowers on side tables. Dark drapes form the backdrop and the stage platform glows warm amber. Based on the appearance cues of the saffron robe, ornate gold necklace and the page's reference to a person at this event, the figure is a person seated in the throne position.

December 11 20082008-12-11A photograph of a single person seated on an ornate golden throne (peetha) on a raised stage, hands pressed together in anjali mudra. The person wears a bright red-orange robe and has long dark hair. The throne has a gold-and-red backrest, a gold canopy above, and garlands of orange and white flowers. Two tall gold oil lamps (deepam) with flames stand on either side of the stage, with flower baskets beside the throne. Dark curtains form the background.
