A photograph of a stage set for a ceremony, with a golden deity murti of Shiva holding a trident seated on a throne beside a robed figure garlanded with white flowers, before a thatched straw canopy decorated with green leaves and tall dried grasses. Clay kalasha pots and potted plants line the stage. Seated devotees fill the foreground, many bare-shouldered or in orange and white garments, with a cameraman filming from the right beside a tripod. Red curtains frame the hall. A seated figure in orange, the one in the robed attire with white garland, is depicted on the stage; the seated figure has long dark hair and a rudraksha-style necklace, but appearance is not sufficient to confirm identity, so a person is unsure.
