A stage at an outdoor event with a long white-draped table decorated with marigold and jasmine garlands and water bottles. A standing man in orange robes, orange turban and rudraksha mala gestures with an open hand toward the seated group. Seated on gold-and-red thrones are two monks in saffron robes, two men in white kurta and dhoti-style clothing, one in a dark brown waistcoat, and a man in glasses holding a printed booklet. Behind them hangs a banner with a large portrait of a smiling woman, Kannada text, and a fluorescent-yellow Kannada-and-English banner with a date line. The scene looks like a dais for a ceremony.
