On the left a young man with long dark hair, a saffron head wrap and a beaded necklace smiles; the centre figure wears a saffron shawl and a white forehead marking; on the right an older bearded man in a saffron shawl speaks into a microphone on a stand. Bright orange and yellow marigold garlands drape the pink-covered table in front of them, with water bottles and glasses. A banner above shows the stylised dove emblem and Kannada and Sanskrit-style Devanagari-like lettering for a birth anniversary celebration, and a small seated attendant sits behind the stage.
