A large hall filled with seated devotees on the floor, viewed from behind, during a Nithyanandoham session. A standing figure in the centre wears a red wrap and a long garland of orange-red beads, and holds a tall ceremonial staff. Behind him stands an ornate wooden chair. Many seated participants wear white, orange and saffron clothing, and some wear orange lanyards. A speaker stand sits at the top right beside tall wooden doors. The figure's appearance with a red wrap, bead garland and staff is consistent with a person, but identity is uncertain. Audience counts are large, but the visible crowd is clearly beyond twenty people.
