A photograph of a large hall with white walls and a glossy floor, filled with rows of seated audience members on red-cushioned chairs facing a stage. On the stage, a figure in white robes sits on a raised red-draped seat in front of a red and blue banner bearing a yin-yang style emblem and the word SHIVA, with flowers and a small kalasha-like arrangement beside them. Audience members wear casual jackets, sweaters and shirts, and a woman holds a young child on her lap at the right. A cloth banner with a small framed display hangs on the left wall, and green curtains flank the stage. The stage figure is too small and distant for a confident identification, so this is a discourse setting with an unsure candidate.
