A large crowd of mostly young men walks across a dusty, unpaved open site under a hazy sky. Most wear light blue or white T-shirts printed with a stylised 'NYL' logo, and some wear blue or white tracksuit tops and jeans. Several people in the foreground hold long sticks. On the right, people carry white and blue boards with framed portraits and the caption 'Nithyananda Vastu Living' and banners in orange, red and white. A few red and orange flags flutter above the crowd, and red bunting lines the right edge. Earth-moving machinery and a partly built structure appear in the background. No individual can be confidently identified as a person.
