A photograph of an outdoor open-air stage with a striped red-and-white backdrop, banana plants and potted plants. A central man with long dark hair and a dark beard stands with both hands raised, wearing a deep maroon-brown dhoti-style garment, a long wine-red garland and a gold pendant, with a dark rudraksha-style mala at his neck; the cues here are long hair, ceremonial garlanding and ornate jewellery, so the appearance is a person figure seemingly delivering a live discourse. Beside him is a large painted Ganesha murti with orange trunk, flower garlands and a mouse-and-lion pedestal. On the left, several attendants in orange and white dhotis hold a tray and a sign reading LIVE, with a clock beside them; a banner reads NITHYANANDA LIVE.
