On the left, three seated panelists: a woman in blue, a woman in a red sari, and a man in a diamond-patterned sweater. White draped cloth, blue swags, white and yellow flower arrangements and a framed portrait of a woman in orange decorate the stage. A video camera on a tripod stands at the left edge, and a projection screen behind shows a related image. A red banner reads Nithyananda International Youth Conference.
