A partially visible second person bends toward the seated figure.

September 22 20172017-09-22September 28 20172017-09-28A photograph of a stage ceremony with a large ornate silver throne backed by a carved silver arch and a finial. A man seated on the throne wears a leopard-print shawl over a saffron-coloured robe, a marigold garland with green and red beads, and has a red tilak on his forehead; he is smiling. A man in a white shirt and a red-and-white shawl stands at his right, reaching toward his face with one hand raised, while another raises a palm. A trident leans against the throne's left side, a damaru drum hangs from it, and a gold leopard-patterned cloth drapes from it. Blue stage lights rise behind. A seated man with a white tilak and a dark kurta sits at the far left edge.2017-09-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial scene on a stage. A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange garment and a green-and-white flower garland, sits on an ornate silver throne decorated with carved scrollwork, leopard-print cushions and lion figures. A shaved-headed man in an orange-and-maroon dhoti, bare-chested, sits in front of him with both hands raised toward the seated man's head, appearing to bless him. A hand at left holds up a white paper or cloth, and a lantern hangs at top left against a pink-purple backdrop. The seated man appears to be the figure described on the page as a person, identified by long hair, saffron clothing and garland; this is an appearance-based label only.2017-09-22 +1 copiesSeptember 22 20172017-09-22 +1 copiesSeptember 22 20172017-09-22 +1 copiesA ceremonial stage scene lit by blue and warm spotlights. Seated on an ornate silver throne with a carved, floral backrest and a leopard-print cushion is a bare-chested man in a rust-orange cloth, wearing a green-and-white garland and a red tilak on his forehead; his posture is upright and he is smiling. A kneeling man in white ritual dhoti with an orange-red shawl raises his palms and touches the seated man's hands in a gesture of reverence. A standing priest with a shaved head, bare chest and white dhoti holds a ritual object in one hand near the throne, with a trident-like finial visible above. Two onlookers in white and gold-bordered dhotis or saris stand at the left edge, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border sits at the lower right with her hands folded. The seated figure's appearance (long hair swept back, orange cloth, garland, throne) is a candidate for a person; this is an appearance-based label only.2017-09-22 +1 copiesDecember 22 20172017-12-22September 22 20172017-09-22 +1 copiesA seated man in a striped golden-and-brown shawl over a rust-orange dhoti, wearing a rudraksha mala and a white garland, with a red tilak on his forehead, rests his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a light green polo shirt and dark shorts.
