Wide photograph of a large indoor hall during a Nithyananda Spurana convention, with hundreds of seated participants wearing white clothes and black blindfold bands across their eyes. On the left, a woman in an orange sari stands on a red-carpeted stage, one arm raised, apparently leading the session. Rows of white-clad participants fill the red carpeted floor, many wearing rudraksha-style beads and yellow-and-white badges, while a few orange-robed attendants sit near the front. Potted green plants line the stage edge, and a blue figure appears on a banner at the left. White pillars, ceiling fans and fluorescent lights frame the hall.
