A photograph of a temple-style stage with a red curtain and gold-framed arch. A bearded man in an orange turban and orange robe, with a large ceremonial necklace and gold bangles, sits cross-legged on a silver throne with red cushions, flanked by two silver lion figures and decorated with yellow and red flower garlands. Petals fall through the air as a long-haired attendant in orange cloth, bare-chested, throws petals toward him with raised arms. Behind the throne stand gold deity murti statues, and at right a gold-clad figure with a blue-green and purple skirt and ornate jewellery stands among marigold garlands. A silver lamp stand and rose petals scattered on the floor complete the scene. Watermarked archive image omitted from description.
