A photograph of a decorated stage at a Guru Poornima event. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long hair sits on a flower-decorated throne beneath a red-and-white canopy, with a tall white floral backdrop shaped like an ornate shrine. A large portrait is displayed above, and yellow cloth and silver kalasha-style vessels lie at the front of the stage, with brass lamps and offering trays. Purple curtains frame the stage. The throne figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, so this is a person seated for satsang, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm.
