A large hall event: a Kannada banner reading Akhila Karnataka Dharmika Santara Samaavesha hangs above a stage where many saffron-robed religious leaders sit in cushioned chairs, some wearing orange turbans. A man in white stands at the left edge, and a standing speaker in orange robes holds a microphone at centre stage. Behind them is a decorated throne-like backdrop with a deity murti. In the foreground, a dense audience of mostly women in white and colourful saris, some with flowers in their hair, faces the stage. Cameras on tripods and a sign prohibiting photography and video are visible.
