A photograph of a musical performance on a green-carpeted stage under a white tent ceiling with hanging colourful tassel decorations. In the centre, a man in a white dhoti-style outfit with a maroon-and-gold sleeveless vest sits cross-legged behind a microphone stand. Seated musicians around him include a man in an orange kurta playing a drum, and a man in white playing a mridangam-style drum; another man in a white kurta sits at a harmonium-like instrument. In the foreground a man in white with a dark bracelet plays a hand drum on an orange-and-purple cloth mat. Behind them, a large audience sits on the floor. A red banner at left reads 2010 with the words Brahmotsava and Paramahamsa Nithyananda. No clearly identifiable a person depiction is established by appearance cues, so the central figure is described by role only.
