A large photograph of a crowded tented hall during a person Spurana program. Hundreds of women and some men sit in white plastic chairs facing a stage at the far end. Many wear sarees in pink, red, blue, green and white, with long braided hair and some with gold necklaces. The stage backdrop shows a large portrait of a smiling figure in a white head wrap with a saffron-toned background, with a banner reading Nithyananda Spurana Dhyanamuga. Hanging fans and white draped curtains line the tent ceiling. The portrait is a depiction, and no clearly identifiable person is seen on stage in the foreground.
