Nithyanandapedia
A large tented gathering seen from the rear: hundreds of seated attendees, mostly men in checked and striped shirts and white or light-coloured clothes, sit on red mats either side of a long green carpet aisle. At the far end, a raised stage carries a figure in orange robes seated on a white cushion, with a microphone stand. Behind the stage are large banners showing a smiling face in red-orange tones, with a printed label reading Nithyananda Spurna Prb Gram and Tamil text on the banner. Yellow sunflower-patterned drapes frame the tent, with loudspeakers at the sides. The seated figure on the stage appears to be a presenter in saffron, and the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
