Indoor temple-hall scene with a golden throne (peetha) on a raised platform at left, an orange-draped figure seated on it beneath a gilded canopy. Beside it stands a golden-framed ornate structure with a multicoloured umbrella above a decorated deity murti garlanded with flowers. A standing figure in saffron-orange robe and matching head cloth, with rudraksha beads and a gold pendant, gestures toward the seated group. Three people sit on a red cloth mat on the floor in white clothes: one in a white head cloth and a shawl, one in white, and one bare-chested with a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala. A black mat with a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam logo lies in front, and a video camera is at right.
