Outdoor photo of a temporary bamboo stage set up on open dusty ground for a yoga event. The stage front has an ornate multicoloured decorative arch with a central framed portrait of a bearded man with long swept-back hair in an orange-red robe, which is a depiction on a printed banner. The large banner below shows a man in orange with a lotus-filled water backdrop. Orange and white flags fly from bamboo poles, mango leaf strings hang along the fence, and a black dog and a white cow appear in the foreground with a few small figures near the stage. The printed banner reads Dhyana Chatushashti (Tamil text) and an event title in Tamil.
