A stage event with a large banner behind it showing Shiva and a goddess with a trident and crescent, plus Kannada script text. In the centre, a figure in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban, long dark swept-back hair and a long gold necklace with rudraksha-style beads stands smiling. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers faces him and reaches out, while another man in white holds a silver tray with a garlanded coconut-like offering and a multicoloured garland nearby. Seated to the right on an ornate silver-and-red throne is an older bald man in orange robes. Flower garlands decorate the throne, and a row of decorated red-cushioned chairs stands in the foreground. Several other men in white and orange are visible in the background.
