A standing figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and upper wrap with a rudraksha mala and a red-and-gold trim, bare-footed, with a white bandage on one forearm, raises a hand in greeting beside a decorated altar. Behind the figure, a golden arched backdrop frames two deity murtis seated on a red satin-draped platform, garlanded with red and yellow flowers and white beaded ornaments; the left murti wears a purple garment and the right a red one. To the right stands a painted wave backdrop, a white floor fan and a wall air conditioner. The person's appearance matches several visible cues: rudraksha mala, saffron clothing and a ceremonial bearing, so this is a person presence in person.2013-09-29September 29 20132013-09-29A photograph of a standing man in an orange-brown ochre robe with a matching shawl over the shoulder and a long rudraksha-style bead mala around his neck, his left arm bandaged in white and his right hand raised in greeting. Behind him stands an ornate gold arch framing two decorated deity murtis seated on a red silk-draped platform, garlanded with red roses and yellow marigolds, one wearing a purple garment with a silver crown and the other in a red sari with a jewelled crown. A blue ocean wave backdrop and a standing fan sit at the right edge, with dark maroon curtains behind. The man's appearance is consistent with a person, given his saffron-ochre robes and rudraksha mala, though the image alone is not conclusive.2013-09-29October 02 20132013-10-02September 29 20132013-09-29A photograph on a stage with dark red velvet drapes.
