Photograph of a temple courtyard with a man in a saffron-orange robe walking barefoot up steps toward the viewer, with long dark hair swept back and a rudraksha mala visible; he has the appearance of a candidate for a person, presented as probable based on long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala. Beside him a younger person in orange cloth follows. Behind them a silver SUV with an orange saffron emblem is parked, a banner hangs on a wall, a dark stone statue and fountain-like stone basins stand in the courtyard, and two people in light clothing walk in the background. Kolam designs decorate the steps.

The man on the left has long swept-back dark hair, a saffron shawl over his shoulder, a ring and a wristwatch, and a red-and-white flag on a small stick. The man on the right has short dark hair, a bare upper body under a saffron wrap, and looks downward. The SUV windshield displays a sticker reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeeta Mahasamsthana. Behind them is a large map-style board and thatched-roof huts, with a palm tree and sandals on the ground. Two men with long swept hair in saffron robes: the left figure's presentation is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the face and build are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm.2009-12-10
