A man stands on a stage with both arms raised above his head, palms pressed together, eyes closed in meditative absorption. He wears a rust-red turban with a gold ornament and a feather, a rust-red robe, a gold belt buckle, gold armbands and bangles, and a long garland of white and pink flowers with red roses. Behind him a large screen shows a world map, and strings of multicoloured lights hang across the dark hall. The scene reads as a satsang or yoga-style practice; the man is one physical person present. The page places a person at this event, but the figure's appearance gives only partial cues, with no long swept-back hair visible, so the identity is uncertain.
