A photograph of a stage event at an ashram-style hall. A seated figure in a dark brown jacket and black trousers sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, draped in long white, orange and red garlands and flower strands, with a canopy of flowers above. Behind him a white wall is covered in rows of painted cutout figures of men in traditional dress holding instruments. A standing man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands at left holding papers, while a man in white kurta with orange-gold border speaks into a microphone at right. Brass pots with fruit and flower offerings sit on the stage floor, and pink and blue draped fabric frames the throne. Some seated figures are visible, but the central seated figure's appearance is uncertain, so identity is not established.
