A stage event in a hall with a maroon curtain, a painted deity panel at left, and golden lion-footed seats with a gilded throne-like chair. Three orange umbrellas with red-and-gold fringed canopies stand behind the stage. A man in brown-and-gold robes, a brown turban and a long gold-beaded garland gestures toward the seats. Beside him, a bearded sadhu in orange robes holds a microphone to his face, and a bald man in orange-and-gold dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a red wristband stands near a microphone stand. The scene shows an ashram programme with honoured guests on stage, with a sannyasi in orange and a shaved-head figure in ritual clothing. Water bottles sit on the floor at the edge of the stage.
