A large hall with an audience seated on the floor facing a raised stage. On a gold, ornate throne under a golden canopy sits a figure in orange robes with long hair, appearing to address the gathering; the throne is distinctive but the appearance cues are only partially distinctive, so the identity is uncertain. A cameraman stands at a tripod near the foreground, and a man in white with a yellow shawl sits on the floor before the stage. Behind the stage a large banner shows a smiling man in an orange turban labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" beside the text "Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam" and "Level 2" program branding. Audience members wear white, pink, and saffron clothing, and several people sit in the front rows.
