A banner reading "Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Anandeshwari Temple Hyderabad Gurupurnima Celebration" hangs above. A seated figure on a cane chair wears orange robes and a flower garland, with a lit oil lamp or aarti flame held before a standing priest in orange robes and a shawl who rings a handbell and holds a lamp. Two darker deity statues stand on either side, with colourful striped banners and garlands framing the hall. Framed photographs hang on the wall, and a few seated devotees watch from the right and lower left, with an oil lamp burning on the floor near a small offering table. Visible people: the seated figure, the standing priest, and about three seated onlookers.
