Night outdoor event on a raised stage decorated with flower garlands, brass lamps and a golden-draped seat. A figure in white with a white head covering sits cross-legged on a red-cushioned throne heaped with white and colourful flowers, a mic stand before him. Brass lamps flank the stage, and a saffron-robed attendant stands at left. A large crowd of devotees, many in white or pastel headscarves, fills the foreground, and a monitor on the right shows the crowd.

March 11 20172017-03-11Large crowd of devotees seated on the floor of a richly decorated hall, mostly men with bare upper bodies in white dhoti and shawls, some in orange and saffron garments, viewed from behind. On a raised stage, a seated figure in a rust-orange turban and orange robe sits before a golden Nandi bull and golden deity murti framed by marigold garlands, lamps and string lights. Golden Shiva-related sculptures flank a silver-framed central seat, and video camera tripods stand near the platform. Red velvet drapes and golden panels complete the backdrop. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, with a turban and orange robe, but the cues are limited, so the identity is uncertain.2017-12-02 +1 copiesDecember 02 20172017-12-02Night outdoor stage event under a banner reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam in black gothic script with a decorative border.
