A photograph of a stage set for a Shiva Sutras discourse. A seated man with long dark hair, wearing orange robes and rudraksha beads, sits cross-legged on a white cushioned throne holding a book, with a microphone stand beside him. Behind him a large banner shows a figure in a leopard-skin shawl with rudraksha beads, and two deity figures in red and orange, one holding a trident-like staff. A table with red flowers and a vase sits to the left. The stage is raised and red-brown, with a plain concrete floor below and no audience visible.
