A photograph of an open-sided ashram hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange walls. In the centre a barefoot man in a saffron-orange robe and a red-and-orange garland stands with palms pressed together in a namaste greeting, long dark hair falling past his shoulders. Around him a crowd of devotees stands in rows: women in white saris and men in white dhotis, some in orange or yellow clothing, several with folded hands. A tripod-mounted camera stands on a mat near the front. On the left a golden peetha-style chair with a red cushion and a wooden lectern sit on red carpet, and a red-and-purple cloth is laid on the floor. Printed signs on the walls read as notices, and a small plaque on the wall reads Nithyananda Paramashivam Ashram. Swamiji (probable): the robed figure with long swept-back hair and rudraksha garland is the presiding speaker, with a saffron robe and garland cues.
