A photograph of a golden stage set for a Karthigai Deepam celebration. At the centre, a seated man in a rust-red robe, rudraksha mala and red head covering sits on a white silver-framed seat, hands folded, with a microphone stand before him. Behind him rises a golden bull-shaped vahana and a golden arch with garlanded deity images. On the left and right stand gilded figures, with a priest in a red dhoti and shawl standing at the left edge. Marigold and yellow garlands drape the sculptures, rows of oil lamps glow along the stage floor, and fairy lights and striped bunting frame the backdrop. A copyright line appears at lower right.
