A photograph on a stage in front of a golden ornate throne with a red cushion, a gold canopy above, and a large banner behind showing a trident, a portrait labelled Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam and a painted figure. A woman in a white sari with gold border stands at the centre, pressing a white cloth or cotton piece over the eyes of a woman in orange sari with a rudraksha mala. A man in a red shirt and jeans holds a microphone nearby, and a woman in a red-orange turban and saffron-coloured robe with a rudraksha mala stands at right holding papers. A gold lion-carved pillar stands at the right edge. On the throne backdrop a seated figure in saffron and red robes with a rudraksha mala appears in a painted or printed image, not a physical person. The scene appears to be a ritual or blessing ceremony.
