A figure stands centre stage in a hazy, orange-lit temple-style hall, one arm raised and a long staff held in the other hand. He wears a saffron-brown robe with a wrap over the shoulder and a beaded necklace, and a dark turban-like headwear. Behind him is a golden ornate arch with carved panels, a deity murti niche, and hanging bells on cords overhead. A silver peacock-like figure stands to the left and a golden carved pillar to the right; a small ornate brass vessel rests near his feet on the stage. Stage lights and smoke create a dramatic atmosphere.

Behind him an ornate gold arched shrine niche holds a smaller deity figure, flanked by gilded carved panels. To the left stands a silver-and-blue carved deity figure on a peacock-like mount, and to the right a gilded guardian statue. Hanging bells and lamps dangle from the ceiling above. The figure is a statue, not a living person, so no physical people are present. Possible a person depiction, appearance-based uncertainty only.2017-04-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a stage set with ornate gold and silver temple-style décor, hanging bells, and a hazy orange and pink lighting atmosphere. A single man stands centre stage in a rust-orange robe with a matching shawl, holding a long staff in one hand and raising the other arm, with a beaded necklace visible at his chest. Behind him is a large arched golden frame with carved figures, and a golden lion-like or mythical seated figure sits at his feet beside a brass vessel. Flanking figures and a silver ornamental pillar with a peacock-like motif frame the scene. A single person is physically present on stage. The figure's appearance is consistent with a presentation of a saffron-clad teacher but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2017-04-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a stage set with ornate golden temple-style architecture, carved panels and deity murtis flanking a central arch. A single standing figure in the centre wears a saffron-orange robe, a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace and gold ornaments, and holds a tall staff or trident-like rod, with a reddish-orange haze and spotlight behind him. Hanging bells and lamps hang from the ceiling, and a golden kalasha-like object sits on the stage floor. The figure's appearance is consistent with a ceremonial presentation, but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA figure in a saffron-orange robe and dhoti stands on a stage holding a tall staff in one hand, the other hand raised in blessing. The figure has long dark hair and a dark beard, with beaded necklaces around the neck. Behind him is an ornate golden arch framing a deity murti, flanked by carved golden panels and a silver-finished ornamental shrine on the left. Hanging brass bells dangle from the ceiling, and haze and warm pink-red lighting fill the space. A small brass kalasha-like vessel sits at the front of the stage. The figure appears to be a statue or life-sized figure rather than a live person.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copies
