A photograph of a stage in a temple-style hall with a red curtain backdrop and a large painted image of a deity above the left side. On the left, a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a red turban sits on an ornate gold-and-jewelled throne, a white flower garland around his neck, hands pressed together in namaskar. Beside him is a microphone stand. On the right, a gilded canopied shrine holds a deity murti draped in orange cloth and heavy garlands of white and red flowers, with brass oil lamps and a kalasha in front. A standing attendant in orange dhoti, with long hair, faces the shrine and holds a lit lamp. The scene suggests a puja or satsang setting.
