A covered hall with orange walls and a corrugated roof hosts a darshan event. On the right, a woman with long dark hair in an orange shawl sits in a white armchair on an orange cloth-covered platform, gesturing with her hand toward the room. A bright orange cloth-covered pedestal in the foreground holds a silver-topped vessel. Behind a metal railing and red carpet, several men in white dhotis with yellow or orange shawls stand in a line, and a boy in a blue shirt watches. Photographers with cameras crowd the left side. A banner on the back wall shows photographs and printed text, and a blue-and-white mat at the bottom reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham.
