A photograph of a ceremonial event on an orange stage with a banner reading Dasara, Celebration of the Divine. A man with long dark hair, wearing orange robes and a rudraksha mala, sits eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands folded in his lap; a person candidate by these cues, though identity is uncertain. To his left, a woman in a white and red sari with red-and-white top and beaded mala sits with palms pressed together in namaste. Nearby stands a gold ceremonial chair draped with flower garlands in yellow, orange and purple. Brass thalis holding flowers and fruit sit in front of the throne, and several seated devotees, including a woman in a green sari, are visible in the foreground. A microphone stands at the right edge.
