A large screen on the left shows a close-up of a similarly dressed figure with a white backdrop. A blue banner reads '4 States of Consciousness' with panels for Jagrat, Swapna, Sushupti and Turiya. A tall banner on the right shows a smiling portrait of a figure in orange with a rudraksha mala, labelled 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda', with the word 'Kalpata' visible in red letters. The throne-seated figure wears orange robes and a mala and appears to be the presenter. The figure's cues are a saffron head wrap, orange robe and rudraksha mala, consistent with the speaker, but the seated figure is small and partly lit from behind, so identity remains uncertain.2009-09-12September 12 20092009-09-12January 26 20102010-01-26Wide photograph of a stage set for the Kalpataru one-day workshop in Hyderabad.
