Photograph of an outdoor stage event at a Hindu religious function. A man with a long dark beard and an orange turban-style headwrap, wearing orange robes and a beaded mala, leans forward to hand a small tray or basket to a bald, saffron-robed elder who bows slightly and accepts it. A third saffron-clad seated figure smiles on the right. Several large ornate gold and red thrones line the stage behind them, a blue banner with Kannada text and portrait medallions hangs above, and the front table is draped white with orange marigold garlands and water bottles with name placards. Several people stand or sit at the edges, including a young man in white.
