Photograph of a stage event with a large red-orange backdrop showing a banyan tree and temple pillar motifs. A seated figure in orange robes and a white-and-orange garland sits on a gold throne at centre, with a man in white bending toward them. Around the stage, many people in white dhotis, white sarees and mundus stand in a line, some with hands folded or raised in greeting. A woman in an orange saree stands near the throne, and a woman in a purple saree and another in a red shawl stand nearby. Seated devotees in white occupy the lower foreground beside a white stepped platform decorated with marigold garlands and a blue, pink and yellow table draping. The orange-robed seated figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person, shown with a garland and orange clothing on a throne; identity remains uncertain.
