A photo of a stage set for a temple-style event, with a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions. The seated person wears a red and gold garment and a pink flower garland, and a tall gold-and-red parasol canopy stands above. Nearby a dark black stone deity murti stands draped with flower garlands, and yellow and white floral garlands hang from the frame. Two standing attendants in orange and white dhotis with bare upper bodies, one holding a brass lamp stand, face the stage at the bottom edge. A red backdrop with a light beam, a tall candelabra and a cloth-covered table complete the scene.
