Evening outdoor photo of a large crowd moving across a open ground in front of a decorated stage at Nithyananda Peetham Tiruvannamalai, with a hill behind. Long-exposure motion blur shows people in white, blue, orange and red clothing. On the left a woman in a red-orange sari with beaded necklaces stands near the blur. A tall banner shows a bearded figure in red and orange garlanded clothing, possibly a portrait of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, with no clear appearance cues for an in-person candidate in the foreground. Red-and-purple lit arches frame the stage, which has a large signboard with Tamil text, and a smaller portrait banner stands at right. Scattered papers litter the ground.
