A large crowd of men fills a tented hall with a red carpet, many raising their arms and hands overhead in devotion. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, while some wear checked or striped shirts and lungis. Several wear blue lanyards or badges. A banner behind the crowd shows a framed portrait, and a blue-purple cloth draping forms the backdrop, with flower decorations along the top edge.

Many people in the foreground and middle raise their arms and hands in the air, some clapping or waving. Several men wear lanyard ID badges. Above the crowd, a row of framed portraits and garlanded floral arrangements decorates the stage backdrop, and a large banner on the left reads Nithyananda Gallery alongside a small portrait of a bearded man. The portraits show men in colourful turbans and saffron-toned robes, but none are clearly identifiable as a specific person from appearance, and they appear as printed or framed pictures rather than people present.2006-12-15August 15 20092009-08-15July 08 20092009-07-08 +1 copiesDecember 15 20062006-12-15A large tented hall with white canopy and hanging lights holds a dense crowd of devotees, mostly men in white dhotis, white shirts and grey trousers, many standing with raised hands and folded palms. Some stand on a green carpet strip over red flooring, and plastic chairs line the left side where a few seated attendees sit. Devotees in the foreground hold small bags and bottles. Blue backdrop and stage structures appear at the far end of the hall.2009-08-15A large crowd of devotees fills a tented hall, most dressed in white kurtas and dhotis, some wearing white shirts with lanyards and an orange shawl visible on one man at right. Many raise hands and move energetically on a red carpet in front of a deep blue stage backdrop decorated with orange-yellow flower clusters and framed portraits. Hanging white banners and ceiling fans complete the setting. No individual figure can be identified as a person from the visible scene, and the portraits on the backdrop are printed images rather than physical people.2006-12-14A large crowd of devotees fills a white tented pavilion decorated with blue and gold bunting, with overhead lights and speakers along the sides. Most people wear white shirts and white dhotis or mundus with ID lanyards, and many have raised hands in an energetic group gesture during a darshan session. A figure in orange robes stands far in the distance near the front of the hall, but is too small and distant to identify. Women in white and cream saris stand on the left, and a red carpet runs along the edge of the crowd.2009-11-29August 15 20092009-08-15
