A photograph at an indoor event hall in front of a Kannada banner advertising the ATIRUDRA MAHAYAGA held 11, 12 and 13 January 2015. A white-clad elderly man with grey hair stands at left, gesturing with one hand and speaking into a microphone on a stand. Seated in orange-saffron robes in a reddish-orange armchair is a figure with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, who appears to be a person based on the saffron robes and long hair, seated beside a younger man in a maroon-and-red robe with a rudraksha mala. Standing behind them are several men in maroon and saffron robes, one holding a tray of offerings. Banner portraits show two saints, one in orange with a rudraksha mala and one with a red shawl and ornaments.
