Five saffron-robed men sit on ornate gold-and-red thrones on a stage at an outdoor event. The bearded man on the far left in long orange robes rests his hand near his face. A man in an orange turban and rudraksha mala speaks into a microphone at centre. Two more seated monks in orange, one with a shaved head, listen beside him, and a man in white on the right sits at the edge. Behind them hangs a framed painting of deities and a backdrop with small circular photographs of men with white hair and moustaches. Mineral water bottles, flower garlands and fruit sit on the table in front.
