A photograph of an outdoor ceremonial stage decorated with garlands of red and white flowers and orange blossoms. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, holding a flywhisk-like staff and wearing a white flower garland with a red bloom, with a trident mounted on the left. Above, three painted saffron-robed figures sit in devotional poses before a rock-and-foliage backdrop. In front, a seated attendant in orange garments and a gold necklace tends brass oil lamps and offerings on a white-draped table, and a microphone stands near the throne. The scene suggests a guru's seated darshan, though the seated figure's appearance is not confidently established.
