A seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits centrally within an ornate, silver-and-jewelled arched canopy decorated with dense rows of red, orange and white flowers. A red cloth canopy with white tassels hangs above him, and a white and red garland hangs across his chest. He wears a crown-like headpiece, and a pale wrap covers his shoulders. Below him are rose petals, flower-decorated pots and offerings. Blue spotlights beam down, and to the right a richly decorated deity murti with garlands is visible. The figure may be a person given the saffron robes, flower garlands and crown-like headpiece, sitting on an elevated throne-like seat during a festival alankaram, though his appearance is not fully certain.

Central figure seated cross-legged on a red-draped platform, in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, with marigold and rose garlands hanging in tassels around him. A figure in an orange turban and gold necklace is the central seated figure; the appearance cues are a turban and saffron clothing, but the presentation is limited and the figure is a large screen-like image rather than a clearly visible person, so the identity is unsure. Brass lamps and offerings in front, with a blue spotlight from the upper left. Marigold and red flowers spill across the platform base.2017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14A photograph of a decorated stage set with an ornate arched backdrop covered in marigold and red flowers and silver-embroidered panels.

Strings of white and orange marigold garlands hang around the seat, with brass oil lamps and clay pots with offerings below. Spotlights shine from above and a deity murti stands at the right edge. The central figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially, so identity is uncertain.
