A seated guru in saffron-orange robes with a matching shawl and a gold necklace sits on a raised red and gold throne in a hall, holding a small ritual object in one hand while gesturing with the other, with a trident-topped staff standing beside him. Surrounding him, a large seated group wears white ritual clothes with saffron-orange shawls, and several women wear yellow and green saris. A projector screen shows a figure in saffron robes and a wall display of event photographs stands behind. A seated audience and a brass kalasha-style vessel are in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure has long swept-back dark hair, a full beard, a saffron shawl, ornate gold necklaces and a throne, consistent with the page's account of a Nithyananda Paramashivam session.

A man with long swept-back dark hair and a beard stands centrally in an orange-saffron shawl over an orange garment, holding a microphone and speaking. Behind him is a gold-trimmed table draped in yellow cloth with a small black device on it, a silver trident standing on the left, and a large screen showing a bearded figure in saffron. Many seated participants wear white dhotis, orange shawls and rudraksha malas; some women wear sarees. A fan stands on the left.
