A stage event with a large deity murti of Shiva draped in garlands at the top left, in front of a backdrop of a galaxy with a glowing pink-and-white spiral. A seated figure in orange robes on a gold-trimmed throne is attended by several people: a bald man in a rust-brown dhoti bending forward to offer something, a man with a long white beard in orange, and devotees in orange and white. A young man in white with bare chest and shoulder cloth sits receiving attention, while a man in a yellow kurta and a woman in a pink sari with a red-beaded necklace kneel nearby. Gold ritual vessels and a golden staff with a cobra-headed top stand on the red carpet, and other orange-robed sannyasis sit along the back. Many more people are seated in the background.
