A photograph of a ceremonial stage at a person Spurana event. A seated figure on a red throne-like chair wears white and a large flower garland, with a red-and-gold trim, while a bare-headed man in white kneels on a white cloth and devotees in white with orange shawls kneel or stand nearby. Flower petals cover the blue carpet. Behind the stage hang a gold-and-red decorated backdrop, an arch of colourful flowers, and a white elephant figure stands at the right edge. A man in white walks across the foreground, and a standing man in white with prayer hands sits at the left. The seated figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so it is described by role only.
