A row of men sit cross-legged on sandy ground beside small fire pits filled with ash and smouldering wood, a ritual homa-style setting. Each wears white dhoti and kurta with a yellow shawl draped over the shoulders, and they appear to be in quiet meditation or prayer with eyes closed. Behind them stands a large black stone Nandi bull with a garland of red and yellow flowers, next to a white-painted shrine structure. A white SUV and a map board of the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Bidadi Ashram stand in the background, with palm trees and thatched huts nearby.
