A photograph from an evening Nithyanandoham session in blue stage light. A bare-shouldered figure with a dark cap-like head covering and a thick garland of yellow marigolds with red flowers sits at left, smiling and gesturing toward a seated man in a cream striped short-sleeved shirt at right, who kneels and holds an object in his hands. Behind them a crowd stands, including a woman in a red kurta with hands pressed together in namaste and a woman in white with a red lanyard. The scene suggests a mandala process with delegates gathered around.
