A crowd of men and women in white clothes gathers in front of a brick wall beneath a framed portrait of a seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair, a garland of white flowers and a raised hand, labelled as Paramahamsa Nithyananda. A shaved-headed monk in an orange robe stands at the left edge, and a bearded man in white with a rudraksha mala holds a booklet. A man in a white shirt with glasses and a mala hands a yellow booklet with a red-robed figure on its cover to a woman in white. A large banner behind them describes free food distribution and medical service to the public. Several older men in white shirts and dhotis stand around the group.
