A photograph of a ceremonial stage at a Hindu spiritual gathering. A man seated on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-skin cushion holds a long silver staff and wears a saffron-orange garment, a yellow-gold crown-like headdress, and a long garland of white and yellow flowers. Behind him is a large backdrop painting of a South Indian gopuram temple tower and a starry sky. In the foreground, seated devotees face the stage with palms joined in prayer: bare-chested men in white dhotis with orange-bordered cloth, a woman in an orange robe, and women in white saris with gold borders. A silver railing separates the audience from the stage, and a silver canopy hangs above the throne. Overall about 15 to 20 people are visible.
