A photograph of an indoor stage event with a large backdrop portrait of a bearded, long-haired man. A woman with long dark hair in an orange robe and a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a small canopy, one hand raised in greeting, speaking into a microphone. A bearded man in white clothing and an orange shawl kneels on a white mattress before her with hands joined, while a man in white with an orange shawl kneels at right gesturing toward the throne. Behind them on the floor, about a dozen men in white robes and orange shawls sit in rows, some wearing rudraksha malas. Colourful woven and beaded hangings and flower garlands decorate the stage, and a standing fan is visible at left. Persons are seated and kneeling, not in procession.
