A barefoot person in a long saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a gold-toned necklace walks across a turquoise-edged red stage under a pink canopy. Behind them hangs a large orange banner with a portrait of a smiling man in a white turban, two circular portraits of older men, a deity image adorned with marigold garlands, and Kannada text. Gold-framed red-cushioned seats line the stage front. The people count is one visible person; the banner portraits and deity image are depictions, not physical people.
