A photograph inside a hall at a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style gathering, with a white tent canopy overhead and ceiling fans. Two men in saffron and orange robes walk up the central aisle, the foremost wearing an orange dhoti-style garment, and the man in the centre has a white and red garland around his neck. Devotees on both sides stand with palms pressed together in anjali, many women in white, cream, yellow and floral dress, and girls in white and yellow frocks. Striped woven mats cover the aisle floor. Yellow and patterned fabric banners hang from the ceiling, and a wall clock and a shelf with framed items appear at the back. Some devotees wear garlands of white flowers. The scene suggests darshan or a welcome procession.
