A large seated audience fills a wood-panelled hall during a Nithyanandoham Inner Awakening session in Phuket. Hundreds of participants sit cross-legged on mats, many in white or pastel clothing with orange and red shawls draped over their shoulders. In the centre, a woman in a long red and gold sari stands on a raised golden platform beside a kalasha-like vessel and a ceremonial staff, facing the crowd. Two large screens on the back wall show the stage, and people at the front are seated in neat rows.
