A photograph outdoors on a dirt ground beside a silver Ford SUV, with palm trees and a low concrete wall behind. A long-haired man in a loose orange-saffron wrap walks barefoot and smiles while holding the hem of his garment. Beside him a man in a matching orange wrap with a red border glances toward him. On the right a woman in white clothes and an orange shawl carries a brass tray with a potted plant, and a person in white stands nearby. Another person in white and orange is partly visible at the right edge, with a camera operator. Sandals lie on the ground at left and a green-covered table stands at right. The orange-clad figure with long swept-back hair and a distinctive ceremonial wrap is a probable match for a person, shown in a role of being received with a welcoming tray; the identification is based on appearance cues only.2008-08-07Outdoors in bright sunlight beside a silver Ford SUV with registration KA04MN4444.

The man on the left has long dark hair and wears an orange wrap over his shoulders and an orange lower garment, with flip-flop sandals. The man on the right has a shaved head, an orange head cloth, multiple rudraksha malas, a wristwatch, and holds a small black pouch while gesturing as he talks. Behind them is a whitewashed block wall with red vertical stripes and a potted plant, under an open pavilion roof. Neither man's face is distinctively identifiable from this view, so no candidate is established.2007-02-02 +1 copiesFebruary 10 20072007-02-10 +1 copiesOutdoor ashram scene beside a silver-grey SUV bearing a white banner reading "Nithyananda Dhyanapeeta Mahasamsthana" and registration KA04 MN4444.
