A photograph of a Shiva Sutras convention stage with a large banner reading SHIVA SUTRAS behind it, showing a portrait of a smiling man in a white turban with a red bindi. Below the banner, a person with long dark hair and a white garment with a red forehead mark sits on a white-draped dais, while two visitors in front lean forward toward him: a woman in a navy top and white trousers and a man in a red checked shirt and jeans. Flanking the dais are arrangements of red roses and pink flowers, palm fronds, a wrapped bouquet, a brass vessel, and red and gold draped cloth. Three physical people are visible, and the portrait on the banner is a depiction.
