Nithyanandapedia
A yoga session in a large hall with a tiled floor, white walls, a dark curtain backdrop and ceiling fans. A saffron-robed teacher sits on a cream armchair before a framed portrait labelled "Nithyanandeshwara"... no—a framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure on a stand, with a brass oil lamp beside it. Rows of participants in white clothes with yellow sashes sit cross-legged on striped mats facing the front, while a banner reads Nithya Yoga beside a lotus logo. Many attendees have long braids and wear white salwar or dhoti-style garments with yellow borders.
