A photograph of a stage at a book-release event, decorated with white and purple draped fabric and a garland-trimmed canopy of white, pink and orange flowers. A row of about a dozen people stands on a low flower-banked platform, including a man in a grey shirt and dark trousers, several men and women in white ritual dhotis and saris, and a group in saffron and orange robes. The central figure in a saffron-orange robe and orange turban stands with his hands clasped, flanked by others in white. Red-and-brown carved chairs stand at the side of the stage, and a small table holds a laptop and brass items.
