Outdoor festival event under a white tent canopy. A man seated on a white cushioned throne wears an orange turban, orange wrap and orange dhoti, with a gold-beaded ceremonial necklace and long dark hair, smiling as he gazes to the side. Behind him an ornate red, pink and green fringed umbrella stands above a canopy draped in patterned cloth. Standing attendants in white garments and orange shawls flank him, and a man in white with glasses, holding a microphone, sits on a red rug in front of the throne. Wooden sandals rest on the rug, and several white-clad devotees and an orange-clad figure are visible in the background beside a truck and speakers.
