A large indoor hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees during a Guru Purnima satsang at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Bidadi. In the foreground, women in red and gold-bordered saris sit cross-legged before brass puja plates with flowers, kumkum and small oil lamps, several placing offerings. Other women wear white and orange saris with rudraksha malas, and a shaved-headed man in white sits near the lower edge with vibhuti marks. Rows of white-clad devotees extend to the back under red curtains and white walls. The photo shows a ritual gathering, not a named individual.
