Nithyanandapedia
A large indoor hall with a white tent-style ceiling, hanging colourful striped and tasselled banners, and rows of seated devotees facing a raised stage draped in blue. Many people wear saffron, orange and yellow robes, while others wear white. Several men on the stage sit in white clothes near a blue-covered platform, and a camera on a tripod records the gathering. Women and men sit cross-legged on mats and white plastic chairs in the foreground. Lighting hangs from the ceiling and a small banner on the wall reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Vedic Temples. A satsang or discourse setting is visible, though no clear person is confidently identified as a person.
