A photograph of a projection screen showing a live two-way video link titled "Nithyananda Nagara Bangalore" with a caption reading "Chitra J (Nayana Deeksha)". On the screen, many people in orange and saffron robes sit cross-legged in rows on the floor of a hall with red curtains and framed pictures on the walls, with small brass items placed before them. Near the right side one figure in white clothing and a figure in an orange top sit among the group. Standing in front of the screen are other people in orange clothing, and a logo appears in the upper left corner of the screen.
