Outdoor stage event at a person Dhyanapeetha function. Two saffron-robed men sit on ornate gold-and-red-velvet thrones behind a table decorated with marigold and white flower garlands. The man on the left wears an orange turban and orange robe with a rudraksha mala and looks down. The bearded man on the right wears an orange-brown robe with a red tilak on his forehead, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind them hangs a large banner and a painted deity image of a crowned figure with consort in red and gold. To the right, a yellow-draped podium holds a dark plaque reading a foundation-stone laying for Ananda Nivas spiritual healing hospital with 1000 beds, dated 31 December 2008. Water bottles sit on the table. Possible identity cues are present on the left figure, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm, so the label is uncertain.
