A photograph of a hall decorated with tall hanging cloth banners in orange, yellow and blue with floral and bird motifs. Rows of white plastic chairs face a small stage where two people stand: one in white clothes and one in an orange sari. Behind them a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a figure in orange robes, surrounded by marigold garlands, above a white-draped altar with lamps and offerings. Seated devotees fill the floor, many in white and orange clothes, and several chairs in front hold people in white shirts and orange garments. The portrait is a depiction; no clearly identifiable candidate is physically on stage.
