The speaker holds a handheld microphone and gestures with one hand, sitting on an orange-draped raised seat in front of a white cloth. Behind the seat hang framed portraits, one labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" printed beneath, and a row of brass kalasha-like lamps and rows of hanging ornamental staffs with orange tassels line the back wall. Brass oil lamps stand on either side. A small CRT television sits on a white table at the right, and a young man in orange clothing sits near the stage beside seated women in white. Most of the audience wears white clothes and sits cross-legged on the floor, with heads and shoulders in the foreground.
