A photograph of a stage at an outdoor festival event under a white canopy. Seven people sit behind a long table draped in white and decorated with marigold and multicolored flower garlands, on ornate cushioned chairs with carved gilded backs. On the left, a man wears an orange turban and orange robes; beside him a figure in orange robes and a shawl; then a bald man in orange robes and a shaved-headed monk in orange robes, with men in white shirts and dark vests at the right end. A large banner behind them shows a row of framed portrait photographs along the top and Kannada script reading a festival title with the year 2008, and a painted deity murti of Shiva and Parvati is shown in an arched frame. A brass lamp stands at the right on a yellow-draped podium with a dark printed board, and a brass elephant figure sits at the stage edge beside the red-carpeted steps.
