A large night-time outdoor gathering in front of an illuminated stage decorated with a warm-lit facade and a central deity murti, with a banner reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam above. A dense crowd of many people sits and stands on plastic chairs and open ground, many wearing white, with saris and colourful shirts visible. Strings of lights and bright floodlights frame the scene, and foliage in the foreground partly blocks the view. A red car is parked at the right edge.
