Photograph of a stage setting at a temple hall. On the left, a man with long dark hair and a gold crown sits on an ornate gold throne with a cobra hood carved above it, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a yellow-marigold garland, and holding a staff. The throne is flanked by brass lion figures. A large LED backdrop shows a lit temple tower, with two figures in red and white costume standing in front of it. On the right, a deity murti, dressed with a green silk sari and draped in white and multicolour flower garlands with gold jewellery, is seated under a gold canopy with a multicoloured fringed parasol. Small standing metal figures in gold and yellow garlands flank it. A red carpet lies on the floor.

September 21 20172017-09-21Photograph of a stage-like temple setting with a large golden throne on the left occupied by a seated figure in orange-saffron robes, long swept-back dark hair, a crown-like golden headdress, and multiple garlands of yellow and white flowers; a golden lion-armrest and leopard-skin cushion are visible. A small figure in red and white stands near the throne holding a staff. On the right, a decorated deity murti dressed in a green sari with a green-draped altar, heavy flower garlands and jewelled ornaments sits under a golden canopy with a colourful fringed umbrella. Behind, a large screen shows an illuminated ornate temple architecture graphic and a few figures in costume. Physical people visible are the seated figure and two or three standing figures, with the figure on the throne matching the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, a crown-like headdress, saffron robes, and ceremonial garlands.2017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesA figure in orange-saffron robes with long orange-gold hair and a crown sits on an ornate silver throne on a stage, holding a long staff, wearing a layered orange and gold ceremonial necklace and a rudraksha-style mala with flower garlands. Behind him is a large backdrop of a towering temple gopuram against a starry night sky with mountains. To the right, a deity murti is decorated with a heavy garland of white and pink flowers and draped with green fabric, while a small deity figure in a red-and-gold niche stands beside it. A silver canopy hangs above the throne. The scene suggests a Navaratri deity darshan setting.2017-09-26A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne flanked by four golden lion sculptures, with a golden sunburst-style backrest and a crown-like top. The figure wears a long white-and-pink flower garland and holds a trident-like staff. A lit stage with purple and pink illuminated temple-pillar backdrop displays painted figures in colourful dress on the wall. The figure appears to be a statue or sculpted murti on the throne, and the wall panels appear to be painted or projected figures rather than physical people. Floor carpet and stage lighting are visible.2017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesA photograph of a stage set with an ornate golden throne centred in front of a backdrop of illuminated pillars in purple, pink and blue light.
