A large seated gathering in a hall with a banner reading Nithyanandapuram or similar at the top left. In the foreground, several men sit cross-legged on mats, palms pressed together in namaskar. Several wear white dhotis and shirts with gold-bordered yellow or white shawls, and rudraksha malas around their necks; one man in the centre has a red tilak on his forehead. Behind them rows of younger boys and men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sit with hands folded. Small plastic containers and a yellow cloth lie on the floor in front. The crowd extends back to the rear wall, with many attendees in white.
