Photo of a stage decorated with marigold and white flower garlands, a yellow flower-covered table in the centre, and a tall red-and-white pillar at right. Two men sit on ornate silver-and-red thrones. On the left, an older man in white trousers and shirt with a lavender shawl speaks into a handheld microphone. On the right, a man wearing a rust-brown turban, a rust-brown robe, a white shawl and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace smiles. Behind them stand a saffron flag and small national flags. Swamiji (probable): the seated man on the right has a turban, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron/ornate clothing, and sits on the honoured throne as the event's host.
