A two-panel collage in a document layout with a captioned photo strip. Top left: a group of girls and a few boys sit on a patterned rug before a glass cabinet and deity statues, some playing small hand drums and cymbals. Top right: girls in pink, red and orange saris sit before a deity murti on a raised throne with trident-shaped finials, singing into microphones. Bottom: a large outdoor group of about 60 women and girls in orange saris and rudraksha malas sit in rows before golden pillars and rows of lamps, with plates of flowers and offerings in front, performing a puja. The captions read that indigenous girls participate in Nithyananda Gurukul and that KAILASA trains rural women and girls in Nithya Puja. No identifiable a person figure is visible.

In the background, a standing man in white clothes stands near a pink figure on a red-draped seat, and a golden deity murti and ornate wooden doors are visible.
