A man in a dark suit, white shirt and red patterned tie stands at a wooden podium with a microphone on a stage, one hand raised mid-speech. Behind him, seated in rows of cushioned chairs under a canopy with string lights and purple and yellow drapes, are several saffron-robed sadhus and women in orange. A bearded man in orange robes sits in the centre, and a bare-chested man sits further back. A banner behind the stage reads in Kannada and English, with Kumbhamela 2010 and the date 30.01.2010 legible. Palm fronds and a flower arrangement sit in the foreground. Around eight people are visible on the stage.
