Children gather inside a pillared hall at a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam centre, many sitting or crouching on the floor to draw and colour on pink sheets of paper. Behind them stands a golden tiered stepped structure draped with red and white flower garlands. A large banner above shows a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" next to a deity image and Telugu text announcing a Vaisya Sankranti event for Vitel Anandas. A girl in a floral print dress stands in the foreground, with a woman in a bright green sari and children in white shirts, checked shirts and school-style clothes around her.
