A stage at a Gurupoornima celebration shows a richly decorated altar with a large seated figure in red and gold, possibly a deity murti or portrait, framed by ornate white and red arches with floral motifs and painted columns. Several young men in orange-brown robes and white shirts with red and yellow scarves stand or kneel at the front, several holding offerings or lamps and facing the altar. Small oil lamps and a flat-screen monitor at the right edge complete the scene, under a dark backdrop with stage lights.
