A wide stage photograph of a ceremonial gathering in front of a large blue starfield backdrop. At the centre sits a man on a golden throne with a red-and-gold turban, wearing orange and saffron robes, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, seated before a large black deity murti crowned with a cobra hood and garlanded with flowers. Seated on either side along the stage are around two dozen people in orange, white, yellow and blue saris and dhotis, some holding rudraksha malas or small items, many with their eyes closed, and a few with shaved heads. A figure in pink and gold stands at the far left edge. The setting suggests a satsang or initiation program.
