A seated speaker sits on a white-draped sofa on a stage with green carpet and a white stage skirt. He wears white clothes and an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and holds a microphone. A banner behind him shows a large portrait of a smiling bearded man with long hair, labelled as Nithyananda Spurna Programme text, and a stylised college building photo. To the right stands a whiteboard easel with red diagrams and writing. In the foreground a brass tray of yellow and red flower petals sits on a low stand, and the audience of around a dozen seated people, mostly young adults in colourful salwar and saris, listens. The speaker's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially, so identity is uncertain.
