Photograph of a stage set for a Bhagavad Gita discourse with festive decoration. A seated figure in red and white ritual cloth sits on a gold-and-red throne at centre, with a shaved head and no clearly visible crown or rudraksha, so identity is unsure. Behind is a large backdrop with a smiling man in an orange-and-cream turban and saffron shawl beside the words Bhagavad Gita and Dhyana Satsang, and a Dasara Navaratri Brahmotsava banner with a golden-crowned goddess figure in red and gold. At left a floral-decorated palanquin carries a deity murti, and at right a gold ornate throne is draped in red and white garlands with a murti seated on it. Two women sit in the front row at bottom, one in glasses and a red blouse, the other in a white top with a tilak. Text on the image reads 'Dasara Navaratri Brahmotsava' and the copyright credit.
