A large indoor hall packed with seated devotees on the floor and chairs, many in orange, saffron and white clothing with orange scarves and lanyards. At center, a man with long dark curly hair, wearing a saffron-orange wrap and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, sits in an ornate brown leather throne-style chair with a microphone stand before him, appearing to address the audience. A silver trident stands to the left of the chair. A projection screen behind shows a group of people in white and saffron clothing, and a banner partly reads Nithyananda Sacred Arts. A woman in a yellow-orange sari stands at the left edge holding a book. Appearance-based a person cues are long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and beaded necklace on the seated speaker; the identification is uncertain.
