Interior of a temple hall with an orange-washed wall and a corrugated roof with ceiling fans. At the centre is a stone shrine with an arched golden frame and red drapes, housing a pair of deity murtis dressed in gold and red, one holding a trident-like staff. A man in an orange robe stands before the shrine, and a robed figure in white stands at a golden throne-like seat on the left, with a microphone stand. A red carpet runs from the foreground toward the shrine, flanked by a metal railing. Seated devotees in white, cream and saffron saris and kurtas, including a bald child in a white dress, watch the ritual. A cameraman in a green shirt films at the right, and a wall map labelled Nithyananda Temples sits on the left.
