Outdoor gathering under colourful multicoloured umbrellas with tassels and a pink-and-maroon draped canopy. A central figure with long dark hair and a yellow-orange headband sits in a large cream armchair, saffron-orange robes, rudraksha beads and a microphone in hand, speaking. Beside him stand two saffron-robed figures, one holding a conch-like object, and a figure with a crown-like head covering and gold necklaces. Men in white kurtas with yellow shawls line the sides, and a seated devotee in orange sits on a striped mat on the ground. A blue signboard in Kannada and English stands at right, and a red-and-white banner reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham. Dusty ground and a low fence form the setting.
