A photograph of a stage set with gilded thrones and a golden backdrop before a large deity murti pair with trident and crown, garlanded with red and white flowers. A standing man in saffron dhoti and shawl, with long dark hair and a rudraksha-style mala, holds up a small brass vessel near the deity. Seated on a gilded throne at right is a bearded elder in pink robes and orange shawl with white beads, gesturing with his hands. Behind him a woman in orange and a garland watches. A microphone stands at the right edge, and a bald person in saffron sits at lower left near a camera. A small brass kalasha and fruit tray sit on a white-draped table. a person appearance cues: the standing man in saffron with long hair and beaded mala matches the visible cues only partially, so the identity is uncertain.
