Outdoor crowd scene in front of a hillside and a large stage with a red-and-white banner reading "Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam". A bare-headed man in an orange robe and beaded mala stands at right, extending his hand. Beside him, a figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange wrap, a large gold-coloured garland and a rudraksha mala, and raises one hand in greeting; this figure has distinctive long hair, orange clothing and ornate adornments, consistent with a person presentation. Around them, men in white shirts and saffron-trimmed garments press forward, some with rudraksha malas. A bamboo scaffold rises at upper right and a figure in white with long hair is partly visible at left. Overcast sky and dry scrubby ground.
