A golden lion-faced motif and ornate gilded pillars flank the throne, with a deity murti and a carved figure on the left. Brass bells hang from the ceiling, and a decorative canopy is visible at the upper left. Warm red and amber lighting falls across the scene, and a mirror-like table with a golden dog or lion statue sits at the front.

A seated figure in orange-brown ceremonial dress with a long beaded necklace and bangles sits on the stage floor in front of a golden arched throne. Behind him a deity murti with a crown and multiple arms rests on a gold-trimmed seat, a trident stands at the left, and a golden cow-shaped object sits at the lower right. Brass lamp stands flank the scene. The seated figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person given the distinctive orange ornate clothing and long beaded necklace, though this is uncertain; he is shown as a costumed figure in a staged tableau rather than a clear real-world event.2017-04-30 +1 copiesA photograph of an ornate golden stage set with carved gilded panels, hanging brass bells and a dark red curtain backdrop. In the centre a seated bearded man in orange-brown robes and a rudraksha-style necklace raises both hands in blessing, sitting before a large golden arch and a richly decorated golden throne. Behind him a deity murti with a crown and elaborate jewellery sits on the throne. Brass oil lamps stand on the stage floor, and a small golden vahana figure lies at the lower right. a person: the seated man wears orange-brown ascetic robes, a long necklace and a rudraksha mala, and his raised-hands posture matches the stage role of the presiding teacher, but his face and features are too small and uncertain to confirm.2017-04-30 +2 copiesA photograph of an ornate golden stage set in a dimly lit hall with hanging brass bells and dark maroon drapery. Centre, a figure seated on a golden throne-like dais with a large golden arch, flanked by a carved golden structure; the seated figure in the back wears a crown and ornate jewelled adornments. In front, a bare-chested sculpted figure in a brown-orange cloth wrap sits with a trident-like staff beside him and a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklaces, one hand resting on a golden ornamental animal figure. Brass oil lamps and a golden kalasha-style vessel stand nearby. The figures appear to be sculpted or tableau figures rather than living people, so no physical people are counted. The figure at front is a statue-like depiction with distinctive adornments and a rudraksha mala, but identity is uncertain.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA man with a shaved head and a bare chest sits cross-legged on a golden stage in front of an ornate golden throne-like structure with a deity murti seated at its centre, flanked by gilded carved panels and hanging brass bells.
