A ceremonial stage event with a long-haired figure seated on an ornate gold throne draped with yellow and orange marigold garlands. The seated figure wears an orange robe, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, with a red bindi. A devotee in white kurta with a yellow shawl bows and touches the feet on a gold footstool, while a monk in orange kneels at left with palms joined. A large portrait of a smiling man in orange hangs behind, and a gold throne stands at left. Trident-shaped ornaments and a microphone stand are on the stage. Figure cues are visible but the identity remains uncertain, so the seated figure is described by role as a seated guru on a throne.
