A large stage photo of a dark-stoned deity murti seated on a rock pedestal, with four arms, a multi-hooded serpent canopy behind the head, a red and gold draped garment, a gold chest necklace and a golden trishul held upright in front. Behind it a large teal-and-white starfield LED screen glows, with a gold curtain at the top. Gold trishul-topped finials stand at the lower corners. At lower right, a man with long hair and a full beard wears an orange-saffron robe with hands in a seated devotional posture, appearing to face the murti; his face is only partly visible and his identity is uncertain. The page notes a person presence, but appearance cues are insufficient to confirm.
