Evening outdoor event at a white-walled, corrugated-roofed building labelled "Nithyananda Gurukul" on a banner over the entrance, framed by a green-and-red arched canopy decorated with colourful paper flowers and streamers. A large crowd of around thirty people stands in lines on the sandy courtyard and steps, many in white, orange and saffron clothes, with some children in bright dresses. Striped rugs cover the steps. At the centre a figure in saffron-orange garments stands near the doorway, and a man in white with an orange shawl stands in the foreground. A garden hose lies across the ground.
