Overhead view of an outdoor camp courtyard under white tarpaulin canopies strung with multicoloured bunting. A banner reads Nithyananda Suraksha Program (NSP) with phone numbers. Around a circular raised structure, about a dozen people in white clothes with orange saffron shawls move about or stand; several wear orange stoles and one woman wears a blue sari. Folding white chairs and a row of stalls with a red-draped table and a banner on the right suggest a health camp. A man in an orange shirt walks in the foreground. No identifiable a person is visible.
