A large hall filled with seated devotees facing a dais on the left. A person in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair stands at a white podium decorated with a vase of orange flowers and a small screen. Many women in white and cream saris, some in orange shawls, sit cross-legged on a red carpeted area, hands folded in prayer. Men in white kurtas and dhotis sit at the front right. Geometric red and yellow mandala-style banners hang on the back wall, and palm fronds decorate the stage edge. A sign reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam area markings. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-robed speaker at the podium, identified by saffron clothing and long flowing hair.
