A photograph of a tented outdoor stage at a religious gathering. A bald man in an orange saffron robe stands at a microphone on a stand, speaking, with his hands held in front of him. Seated behind him in a row of cushioned chairs are five more men in saffron and orange robes and turbans; one wears a rudraksha mala, and another wears a gold chain and beaded necklace. Red and white drapes, a yellow canopy edge and a blue carpet frame the stage. At the right edge, a yellow banner shows printed Kannada text beside framed deity pictures. White-clothed tables sit in front of the dais with flower arrangements at the left. Several other people stand or sit in the background.
