A photograph of an outdoor stage under a white tent at an open-air ceremony. On a central golden throne with a gold arched backdrop sits a seated figure in orange robes, flanked by attendants in orange and saffron clothing who raise brass lamps, flower garlands and ritual items toward the throne. Ornate gold-and-red arches and yellow panels decorate the stage, with tall brass kalasha-style vessels at the sides and a red-draped platform in front. Seated and standing devotees in white, pink and orange clothing fill the foreground in red plastic chairs, with children visible among them. Speakers and stage lights hang from the framework at left. Smoke or incense haze drifts over the stage. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance alone, so the throne figure is treated as unsure.2008-01-01January 01 20082008-01-01January 01 20082008-01-01January 01 20082008-01-01January 01 20082008-01-01January 01 20082008-01-01A photograph of a large open-air pavilion under white canvas, with a green mat floor and rows of red plastic chairs filled with seated attendees.
