Behind him a large painted deity murti with blue skin, multiple arms and a crescent ornament stands against red drapes with gold foliage. Around him four women sit with palms pressed in anjali: one in red-and-black with a gold pendant, one in cream with dark hair, one in black, and one in saffron. To the left stand a trident and a decorated umbrella, and to the right a floral-garlanded altar display.

Behind him a golden deity murti with a crown and raised arms, framed by gold-leaf foliage, rises above a red velvet curtain. A trident stands beside the throne. In front, bare-chested men in orange-and-white dhotis and women in saris sit on the floor at a ceremonial fire, an oil lamp burning on the stage edge. Two tall decorative panels with lotus and lingam motifs flank the throne.2016-10-12Ceremonial stage in a temple-style hall with a deep red curtain behind. In the centre, a seated man in orange robes, an orange turban and a rudraksha mala sits on a red-cushioned silver throne before a golden arch decorated with yellow and red garlands and a gold-framed deity murti. Flanking gold deity murtis stand in ornate arched niches; to the left a seated murti is draped in garlands and an attendant in orange cloth stands nearby, and to the right a standing goddess murti in green and gold wears a garland. Golden female attendant statues stand beside the central arch, and small oil lamps are lit on the stage. A figure in orange at left attends with a tray. The seated man is an appearance-based a person candidate; the adjacent figures are priests.2017-11-28A photograph of a stage at a temple-style event with a red curtain backdrop. A seated figure in orange-red robes and a red turban sits on a silver-framed throne with red cushions, hands joined in namaskar, with a microphone on a stand before him. Behind him a large deity murti is framed by a golden arch and garlanded with yellow and multicoloured flowers. Two golden standing female attendant statues flank the throne. On the left, a deity murti in a gilded arch garlanded with orange and yellow flowers sits on a blue cloth, and a standing figure in an orange dhoti holds a lamp. On the right, a deity murti in a gilded arch with a green and gold sari and garlands sits on a blue cloth. Lamps are placed on the stage in front of the murtis.2017-11-28A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a red turban sits on a red-cushioned throne in front of a golden bull (Nandi-style) backdrop and a silver-framed panel. Adjacent gold deity murti in arched niches stand on either side, one dressed in purple and green with garlands. A rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. Orange-clad devotees sit in rows in the foreground, seen from behind, watching the stage with a red curtain behind. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person claim (saffron robes, red turban, rudraksha mala), but facial identity is not established, so it is marked unsure.2017-11-28October 16 20162016-10-16November 11 20172017-11-11 +1 copies
