A photograph of an empty-looking stage set for a talk, viewed from the front. A standing figure in a pale mint-green kurta and cream dhoti, with a white head covering, stands with palms pressed together in namaste before an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) with red cushions. Pale flower arrangements sit on white pedestals on either side, and a tall vase of green fronds stands at left. At right, a small deity murti in purple and orange garments with a red-and-gold base is set on a white pedestal. Burgundy velvet drapes frame the stage, with a striped bamboo-style backdrop in red and cream behind, and a microphone stand in front of the throne.
