Two large orange banners are displayed: the larger one on a stand shows a smiling man wearing an orange turban and orange clothing beside Tamil and English lettering reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. A smaller orange banner with a similar portrait is mounted on a small white truck parked at the right. Several motorcycles are parked in front of the big banner, a man in a white dhoti rides a bicycle at left, and a few men in light clothing sit on the grass near the truck. A peacock graphic appears on the truck's side. The banners show a portrait, not a physical person, so the only physical people are the bicycle rider and the seated men.2012-01-04Outdoor photo of a dusty road lined with palm trees and a concrete-edged planting bed of small green seedlings.

Around 25 men in white shirts, checked shirts and lungis move between metal pots and a blue drum, and a figure in orange robes walks through the crowd.
