Nithyanandapedia
A photograph of a seated audience during a talk in a plain whitewashed hall. A standing presenter in a white dhoti and white shirt with a yellow shawl stands beside a laptop and table at the front. Behind him a large projection screen shows a man in orange robes with a long mala, seated before a banyan tree trunk; the caption reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda on the slide. A small framed image of a deity hangs on the left wall, and a fan is mounted above. Red, white and blue drapery decorates the top of the screen. Audience members sit cross-legged on mats, mostly in white and light-coloured clothing, with several women wearing saris and braids visible in the foreground. Behind the presenter a white-haired man sits near a sound setup on the left. The scene reads as a discourse or screening, and the projected figure is shown on a screen, not present physically.
