A large indoor tent hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees dressed in white, many wearing white head bands, sitting on red plastic chairs facing a stage. On the stage a figure in orange robes stands near a white-draped backdrop. Behind them a tall blue banner shows a portrait of a smiling man in a large orange turban and the printed words "Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam" and "Nithyananda Purana Program". Blue fabric trims the tent edges, white ceiling fans hang overhead, and a small orange and gold decoration hangs from the ceiling. One devotee in the foreground raises an arm. a person cues on the stage are the orange robes and the turban shown on the banner, though the stage figure is too distant for a confident identification.
