A barefoot man in a flowing saffron-orange sleeveless wrap stands on bare sandy ground with his head bowed and eyes lowered, a red mark on his forehead and a long rudraksha mala hanging to his waist. Behind him, a palm frond and a thatched shed sit beside a large signboard showing a map of Bidadi Ashram and a second board reading FREEDOM. A small brass pot and a sprinkling of white powder lie on the ground nearby, with a red flower petal, and a person in white stands partly hidden at the right edge.

A shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe with a gold-edged border walks away from the camera along a paved brick path. Behind him stands a large white signboard titled Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam - Bidadi Ashram, with a green map and small symbols, set among bare red-brown earth, gravel piles, and a palm tree. A slightly different scene: a cinder-block wall and construction materials sit to the right. A pair of sandals lies on the path at lower left. The man is walking, not seated or performing ritual, and his face is turned away from the camera.2011-12-10September 06 20102010-09-06August 01 20102010-08-01September 01 20102010-09-01October 18 20102010-10-18 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a man in a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap and dhoti walking barefoot on a woven mat with blue borders beside a circular pit edged with white shells and decorated with white floral kolam dots.

A man with short dark hair stands barefoot in the centre of a circular sunken ring of gravel, head bowed and hands on his hips, wearing an orange-saffron sleeveless wrap and a long gold bead necklace. An orange cushion and woven mats lie around him, with a long woven mat laid across the foreground bordered in blue. Behind him stand a tall bronze ring structure, a striped saffron-and-green banner, dark stone sculptures of deities, and several people in white clothes. Palm trees and a red-and-orange flag are visible, and a board with a map sits at left. The ring and offerings suggest a ritual setting rather than a specific named event.2010-10-18 +1 copiesA man walks outdoors along a paved path in warm sunlight beneath a large spreading tree. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and body with a maroon border, and a long black rudraksha mala hangs across his chest. His dark hair is tied up at the back of his head and he looks downward. Behind him are white pillars, a low orange wall, and a circular patterned design on the ground. The scene has a calm, ashram-like setting. Whether he is the a person candidate cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2011-02-11October 07 20102010-10-07October 18 20102010-10-18 +1 copiesA barefoot man in saffron-orange draped robes walks along a pale mat path bordered in blue, lined with flat stepping stones on reddish earth.
