Behind them, younger boys in orange clothing and other men in white clothes with malas sit in rows. A red cloth-covered table and a metal plate with brass vessels and flowers stand at the right. Behind and above the group is a blurred crowd of more men in white, with the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style logo at top left.
