Outdoors on an orange-draped stage, a long-haired man in a red saffron-style robe and a beaded yellow-and-gold necklace sits cross-legged on a zebra-striped throne, with a red bindi on his forehead and bare feet on a red and maroon patterned rug. Behind him a red-and-gold canopy with tassels shelters the seat. Two silver trishula tridents stand at the sides, and a small table holds flowers and a digital clock showing 11:00. Around the stage a crowd of devotees, including children in pink and orange, stands watching under a clear sky.
