A musical performance on a stage at an indoor hall during the Anandotsava 2010 event. A large red banner behind the stage shows a smiling man in an orange turban and saffron robes, with the word Anandotsava and the year 2010 printed on it, along with the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam logo. A framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure hangs at the upper right. On the stage, performers sit on a green cloth beside a blue draped table: a man in a purple shirt plays a large drum, a man in white plays a stringed instrument, a woman in a green sari sings, a man in a blue shirt plays a tanpura-style lute, and a drummer at the right plays a drum kit and percussion. A man in a red shirt stands at a microphone gesturing. An audience of about two dozen people sits in the foreground, mostly seen from behind, with some raising their hands.
