Photo of a large indoor convention hall with a dense crowd of many people, mostly young men in white shirts and dhotis, with a few women in saree and salwar. In the foreground, a long-haired man in a light blue turban and white embroidered robe, with a blue shawl draped over his shoulders, reaches out with both hands toward a young woman in a pale yellow dress who extends her hands in return. Seated figures in orange and saffron garments stand nearby. A pedestal fan stands at right, with white cushions on a raised seat. A banner with saffron-coloured text hangs on the back wall, and orange triangular bunting decorates the ceiling. Probable Swamiji (probable) appears in the turban and blue shawl, with long swept-back hair, giving darshan to devotees at the Nithyananda Spurana convention in Namakkal.
