A photograph of a ceremonial stage set before a large backdrop of a banyan tree with spreading branches. A figure in orange robes sits on a gold-trimmed throne with red cushions, and a seated figure in orange and a bowed figure in white stand near it. A standing man in white with a yellow shawl stands at the throne steps, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl kneels in front holding offerings. Several devotees in white kurtas, saffron-yellow shawls and saris in pink and green stand in a line on both sides, and a silver kalasha sits on the floor in the foreground. The scene appears to show a sarvadarshan or padapuja-style ritual.
