A large audience of men sits on the floor of a covered hall, facing toward the front, with the crowd extending across the whole frame. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers; some wear checked or striped shirts. Several show lanyard-style name badges on their chests. Along the back of the hall hang a row of framed portrait banners of saintly figures with white beards and turbans, and a blue backdrop is decorated with orange and yellow paper flowers. A printed banner at upper left reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. The gathering looks like a seated programme or satsang.
