In the centre, a man in a bright orange turban, orange robe and a golden-bordered shawl smiles broadly; his long hair falls past his shoulders and he is the. To the right, a bald man in wire-rimmed glasses and a plain orange robe speaks into a microphone on a stand. At left, a partially visible man in orange holds his hands to his face. Behind them are black signboards with gold lettering reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam and Paramahamsa, and gold-carved chairs stand at the back. Water bottles and glasses sit on the table in front.
