Stage performance at a Nithyananda Spurana Programme in Salem, with a central figure seated on a white-draped platform wearing an orange saffron dhoti and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, speaking into a microphone. Behind is a large backdrop portrait of a smiling man in a cream turban with a red bindi, and a banner reading Dhyanapeetam Nithyananda Spurana Programme in English and Tamil. Around the seated figure, about a dozen people in white clothes sit and clap, while a drummer plays a pair of tabla-style drums on the right and a harmonium player sits nearby. Gold draped curtains with maroon valances and potted palms frame the stage.
