A photograph of an indoor hall with a long red carpet running down the centre between two rows of metal stanchions. A figure in a gold-bordered rust-orange garment and a tall orange-red headwrap stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, walking toward the viewer. Behind him another robed figure in orange follows. Lines of people on both sides, many in white dhotis and white mundu-style garments, stand with hands joined in greeting. Framed photographs and a banner with a map line the walls, and a sign reads Nithyananda Gallery. The tall figure at centre may be a person, identified by the distinctive orange-red headwrap, ornate gold-bordered robe and garlanded attire worn in a ceremonial welcome procession, though his appearance is not fully clear at this distance.
