Photo of a Gurupurnima celebration held in a white temple hall at the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Anandeshwar Temple, Hyderabad. A banner reads "Gurupurnima Celebration" beneath a printed sign for Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. Two boys in light blue uniforms stand with arms folded in front of a cushioned bamboo-style seat draped with an orange cloth and garlanded with flowers, where a framed portrait sits; the portrait is labelled on a side panel. Two dark stone-like deity murti stand on the left and centre, adorned with garlands, and striped decorative cloth hangings with orange and green trim frame the columns. A seated crowd of mostly children in school uniforms and colourful dresses fills the foreground. A man in a dark green shirt stands at the right edge holding a camera, and a television and computer monitor sit on a cabinet at left.
