A seated audience faces a stage in a small hall with ceiling fans and blue plastic chairs. On the stage, a figure in an orange saffron robe and orange turban sits on a white cushioned seat behind a microphone, with potted green plants on either side. A large banner behind shows a portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and saffron robe, labelled "Sri Nithyananda" in its caption. Above it, a dark blue backdrop carries Tamil script in yellow and white lettering. Many attendees wear white clothes, and a video camera on a tripod stands at the left edge of the room.
