Large indoor program under a white tent with ceiling fans and stage lights. A crowd of many hundreds seated on the floor and in red plastic chairs wears white clothing and white headbands. On the stage, a lone figure in saffron/orange robes stands before a large blue banner showing a smiling man in an orange turban; the banner's printed caption reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham, Nithyananda Spurana Ashram. Two white-draped chairs flank the stage, and a garland decorates the tent's top. The figure on stage is distant and small in frame, so identity is uncertain.
