A wide outdoor photograph of a green, forested hill rising under an overcast sky beside a pale entrance gateway with red trim and the signboard reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. Several small white and red stalls with blue tarps stand in front of the gate, and a red-and-orange flag flies from a pole at the hill's base. A yellow truck and white vans are parked nearby. Scattered figures in white and dark clothing walk across a dusty open ground, and stage lighting rigs and large white screens frame the event site.
