A photograph of seven young men seated cross-legged in a row on a white cloth in front of a dark red curtained stage. Most wear saffron-orange cloths and some have orange turbans; several are bare-chested with rudraksha malas, and the figure on the far right wears white with a white head cloth and a mala. Small brass vessels and lamps sit on the cloth before them. Behind them on a red-draped platform stands a framed portrait of a bald figure in white with a mala, labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" on its base, flanked by flowers and small pots. A yellow floor line runs through the hall. Several bare-chested participants have white forehead markings.
