A photograph of a staged tableau under a white tent canopy with green leaves overhead. A large seated figure in the centre is a painted statue with a red turban, orange-saffron robe, rudraksha beads and a red-and-gold garland, holding a rudraksha mala and a short staff-like object. Four smaller painted statues of bearded seated figures in orange robes sit around the base in anjali mudra, hands folded in greeting, on a rocky mock-up platform. The statues are figures in a display, not physical people, and the tableau is a decorative set for a Gurupoornima celebration.

Photograph of painted statues on a rocky stage set under a white tent canopy with green leaves overhead. A central seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a red-orange turban and a rudraksha-style bead necklace holds a rod or staff. Four to five bearded, shirtless male figures flank him, kneeling or seated with palms pressed together in anjali, painted with white markings. The painted stone platform and foliage form a tableau. These are statues, not living people, and the central figure's identity is not established by appearance.2009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07A stage tableau at an outdoor tented event, with a central seated figure in saffron-orange robes, a red-and-orange turban, a rudraksha mala and bangles, holding a mala in one hand and a prayer gesture in the other.
