Outdoors at a red-walled building with a corrugated roof, labelled Nithyananda Gurukul on a red sign with a small portrait of a saffron-robed figure, a man in white kurta and white dhoti stands on a tiled circular platform hoisting the Indian tricolour up a tall white flagpole by its rope. Nearby, a figure in saffron and an older woman in orange also stand near the pole, and a few children in white uniforms with orange sashes watch. Confetti falls through the air. A woman in orange holds a camera at right, garlands of tinsel and coloured streamers decorate the pole base, and palm trees and a sandy courtyard with floor mats complete the scene.
