A photograph of a large stage event with a blue draped backdrop and a painted orange sunrise mountain scene with a flame-topped peak. A seated figure in golden-orange ceremonial clothing sits on a throne-like seat at the top of a red-carpeted staircase, with garlands and flowers before him. Many people in white clothing, including men in white kurtas and women in white and cream saris, stand on the stage and along its edges, some offering, some gathered around the central seat. A crowd of seated devotees in white fills the foreground. The setting resembles a satsang or puja gathering.
