A large indoor convention hall decorated with garlands of flowers and gold-trimmed purple beams and ceiling panels. A wide banner reads NITHYANANDA SPURANA - NSP, Feb 5th - 9th 2008, PAAVAI - MAHA NITHYANANDA VIHAR, PAAVAI, NAMAKKAL, flanked by large black-and-white portraits. Above the stage, two framed portraits of a man are shown on screens. On the stage, a group of performers in saffron, orange and white clothing stand in a row, several with raised arms. Near the centre, a man in an orange-saffron robe stands prominently, and to the right a man in a saffron robe and a man in white stand nearby. A dense crowd of men and women in white and light clothing faces the stage from the foreground, many with hands raised.
