Photograph of a stage setup under a white canopy with red valance. In the foreground, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a vertical sectarian mark on his forehead wears a saffron-orange robe with gold bands, a rudraksha-style mala, and a beaded necklace, smiling as he walks along a red-carpeted aisle on green flooring. Behind the stage, workers on a ladder and near a wooden platform adjust equipment; a second person in an orange robe stands further back. Brass oil lamps stand at the right edge beside a speaker and a fan.
