Photograph of a stage event in front of a painted backdrop of snowy mountains, clouds and a large trident, with a red-and-gold trident-like mountain motif. A figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a canopy and a leopard-skin cushion sits centrally, wearing a red turban, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and a white ceremonial sash. Four more saffron-robed figures with red or orange turbans, rudraksha malas and flower garlands sit on the stage floor around the throne, some waving and smiling. A trident stands beside the throne and a red cloth covers the stage edge. The centrally seated throne figure is the only candidate for the a person identification, based on the throne placement, turban and rudraksha cues. Five physical people are visible.
