Indoor hall during a satsang or meditation session. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a white cushioned seat on a purple-draped platform, with a microphone stand and a laptop-like white stand before him. Behind him, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a figure in orange, set on a patterned armchair in front of dark maroon curtains. Many seated participants in white clothes, several with yellow or white shawls, sit on striped mats with white cloth bands over their eyes, hands raised to their faces in a meditative practice. A large chart on the right wall displays a colourful diagram. Overall the scene is a guided meditation with blindfolded devotees on the floor.
