A seated outdoor gathering under a yellow-and-red festival tent, with a large Kannada banner behind. Several people in saffron robes sit in chairs. A central figure in a saffron robe wears an orange turban and a rudraksha mala, and is seated beside a man in cream kurta and white dhoti. A standing elderly man in a cream shirt speaks into a microphone at left. Behind the seated row, men in white shirts hold large green, orange and brown kalasha pots aloft. A saffron-robed monk sits at right with another in orange at far right. The turbaned saffron-robed central figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially, so identity is uncertain.
