Photo of an indoor stage with dark red draped curtains during a gathering. A person in orange robes sits on a white cushioned chair with orange-trimmed cushions, a small red footstool before them. A standing monk in orange robes writes on a white easel board with a marker; the board reads NITHYANANDAM. Rows of seated women in white garments with braided hair face the stage, and a small purple bird emblem hangs on the curtain. Probable Swamiji (appearance cues: long swept-back dark hair and saffron/orange robes) is seated in the chair, while the standing figure is a sannyasi in orange robes writing on the board.
