A stage event with an orange-draped central chair and a large backdrop portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe, beside Kannada text. A person in an orange turban, orange robe and a dark beaded necklace sits in the orange armchair, holding a small booklet and leaning toward a seated man. Three seated men in white or striped shirts sit on red chairs at the sides, and a man in orange robes sits to the right. Water bottles stand on the floor and an orange footstool sits in front of the chair. The person in the chair appears to be a candidate for a person, shown with an orange turban, orange robes and a beaded necklace, so the identity is uncertain.
