A photograph inside a plain whitewashed hall with a red-and-gold striped floor-level stage. A standing figure in saffron-orange robes, a matching orange turban and a beaded gold necklace faces a seated crowd of schoolchildren in light blue uniforms and dark skirts, many girls with braids and white flowers in their hair. Behind him hangs a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" of a seated figure in orange with a rudraksha mala, flanked by hanging striped saffron cloths and rows of brass bells on wooden rods. A small brass oil lamp and a tray of offerings sit on the stage. At right, a man in a white shirt holds a plate, and another person in orange stands beside him.
