Night outdoor gathering at a Nithyanandoham event. A seated figure on a brown leather throne-like chair wears a black hat with a flower-garland crown, a yellow, red and white flower garland, a red wrap and a leopard-print cloth; he extends a folded paper toward a kneeling man in a white dhoti with a gold border who bows with palms joined and head lowered. Behind them, around ten standing participants wear orange-lanyard badges; several women have palms joined in namaste, one woman wears a red garment, and a bald man in a white shirt and black shorts wears a beaded mala.
