A stage event with an orange-robed man in an orange turban and saffron dhoti bending forward to lay his hands on the bowed head of an older man in white dhoti and shirt with a white flower garland, who is folding his hands and touching the ground before him. A tall banner behind shows a large portrait of a smiling woman with long dark hair and a red bindi, and four circular portraits across the top, with Kannada text reading 'ಆನಂದೋ' and '30 ನ ಬರ್' (December 30) and 'ಧ್ಯಾನಪೀಠ'. Gold-carved thrones with red velvet centres stand to the right, and a long table draped with white cloth and marigold, orange and purple flower garlands holds water bottles and a microphone. A second orange-robed man with long hair and beaded necklaces stands at left holding a red folder. Several portraits on the banner show a bald man in an orange shawl and a man with a tilak in an orange shawl.
