Photograph of a seated group of women in saffron and orange sarees with gold-bordered edges and rudraksha malas, many with white vibhuti marks on their foreheads. In the foreground several hold small brass dishes or offerings with eyes lowered in devotion. A standing woman in an orange saree with red border holds a dish near the centre back. Behind them, seated men in white clothes watch, and strings of coloured fairy lights and green plants decorate the warm orange backdrop. The scene reads as a Nithyananda satsang or puja gathering; no a person figure is clearly visible.
