Outdoor stage event with a person in saffron-orange robes raising one arm in greeting, smiling, with long dark hair swept back, a red bindi, a gold necklace, bangles and a garland of green limes and red flower strands. Beside them stands a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti with gold chains and a sacred marking on the forehead. Gold trident staffs stand on the stage, and a gold kalasha-like ceremonial vessel is at right. Behind is a decorated backdrop of yellow and orange marigold garlands, banana leaves and a zebra-striped throne-like panel. Swamiji (probable) appears on stage, identified by saffron robes, long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and the garland of limes and flowers; the attendant is a devotee. A partly visible banner reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham-style Tamil lettering.
