Outdoor temple-style procession on a striped cloth runner under a decorated canopy. A central bearded man in a maroon-brown robe wears a large pink and white flower garland, a gold pendant necklace and white tilak on his forehead, walking barefoot toward the viewer. Behind him a man in orange robe carries a tall golden staff, and a bare-chested man in orange cloth with rudraksha beads walks alongside. On the left a man in maroon cloth dances near a drum, and on the right a man in white dhoti with bare torso holds a hurricane lamp near a fan. Drummers and devotees in orange and red stand along the steps, with a golden palanquin-style throne visible at left. A green banner partially reads NITHYANANDA LIVE.
