Outdoor celebration on bare earth under colourful striped parasols with tassels. A central figure with long dark hair wears orange saffron robes and a flower garland with purple and white blooms, seated on a white cushioned throne and raising both hands in greeting. Around him, devotees in white kurtas and yellow shawls and others in saffron clothing clap, kneel and sit on a striped mat. Some hold long wooden staffs. A white banner with orange and red logos stands behind, and a blue sign with Kannada text shows Ananda Linga and Vaidya Sarovar. Several people in white and saffron stand at the right, and a small wooden footstool sits before the throne.

Two large colourful umbrellas with fringed edges shelter the scene. A red-and-white draped backdrop stands behind a low wooden stool with a pink cushion. A bearded man in orange on the right appears to be a sannyasi, and his appearance does not clearly match a person candidate.2009-12-25December 25 20092009-12-25December 25 20092009-12-25December 25 20092009-12-25Outdoor gathering under colourful multicoloured umbrellas with tassels and a pink-and-maroon draped canopy.
