A photograph taken from the back of a large hall during a seated satsang gathering. Rows of attendees in white clothes and some in orange and red sit on red chairs and carpeted floor facing a stage at the far end, where a golden-yellow ornate throne backed by a large blue and gold fan-shaped backdrop stands with a figure seated on it. A projection screen on the left shows the same stage. In the foreground a wooden table holds stacks of glossy booklets and books, several with a smiling portrait of a figure with a saffron garment on the cover, and a bold title on one cover reads Nithyananda. Orange shawls lie on chairs at left. Several people sit on the floor at right, including a woman in a green striped sari with a long braid and a young child beside her.
