Outdoor event under a tent. A bald, smiling man in white shirt and white trousers wears a long white and red flower garland and clasps hands with a long-haired man in an orange turban and sleeveless saffron top, who wears a yellow and gold garland and a gold chain. Behind them, men in white shirts and dark clothes stand watching. A red banner with a lamp flame and the partial text Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam hangs behind, with a portrait of a turbaned figure at left and a tray of flowers at lower right. The orange-clad man has long hair, a turban and distinctive gold and beaded adornments, but appearance alone is not enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role as a devotee greeting a guest.
