A stage performance by a group of children in costume in front of a large backdrop. A circular portrait at upper left shows a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe, labelled as a portrait of Paramahamsa Nithyananda in the caption, and the large banner reads 2010 with a yellow and red flag above. Performers wear varied costumes: a figure at left with a round shield-like prop and green garment, a child in orange, one in black with a jewelled necklace, a child in white dhoti with a book, and children in white and saffron clothing. Some hold instruments or a drum, and audience members sit along the front of the stage in the foreground.
