A photograph of a tented stage at an ananda utsav event, with a banner behind reading in Kannada and a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" showing a smiling woman in orange. On the raised stage, a speaker in white stands at a flower-draped podium on the left. Seated on ornate gold-and-red thrones are a man in white, and at right a figure in orange robes and a shaved-headed monk in ochre; the seated figure in orange with a long beard and ochre clothing shows distinctive saffron attire but his appearance is only partly clear. Brass elephant figurines and marigold garlands decorate the stage edge, with pink drapery behind.
