A stage at a convention is set with a green and white poster announcing Nithyananda Meditation Academy's Fellowship in Meditation Therapy (FIMT) certified course, with the course name, a graduation photo and a Florida location line. A white cloth partly covers the poster, draped over a wooden board decorated with red garland, green leaves and marigolds. Beside it, a large black-and-white portrait of a smiling man with long swept-back hair, a bindi, and a rudraksha mala hangs on a sunflower-bordered backdrop. A white flag stands on a pole, and a decorated canopy with gold tinsel overhead. No physical people are visible.
