Outdoor ceremony under a red canopy in front of a yellow banner with large red Kannada script reading the name of Sadguru Sri Sri Sri Shivapuri Mahaswamiji. A long-haired man in white robes stands at left with hands folded. Several saffron-robed sannyasis surround a brass oil lamp with a flower-garlanded stand; a bald man in saffron holds the lamp and another in orange reaches toward it. Flower garlands in yellow, white and purple decorate a table with a floral offering in the foreground. Other saffron-clad monks and elderly men in orange stand behind. Possible a person cue: the long-haired man in white is not clearly identifiable by appearance, so no confident identification is made.
