A person in an orange saffron garment walks barefoot down a patterned yellow carpet aisle through a hall lined with white plastic chairs. A large banner behind shows a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" wearing orange robes and rudraksha beads, beside Tamil text reading "Kalpataru" and "Oru naal dhyana anubava mugam". Red velvet drapes and a white-cushioned seat with a purple cloth and marigold garland are visible at the front. Seated devotees in white dhotis and white headbands sit on the right, and a figure in yellow and blue clothing sits partly visible on the left. The walking figure has long hair, a red bindi and a sleeveless orange wrap, and is not matched to a known identity from appearance alone.
