Outdoors in a courtyard with palm trees, a person in orange robes sits cross-legged on a mat and folded cushions inside a circular stone-rimmed pit filled with dark gravel, hands pressed together in prayer at the chest, with a brass vessel beside them. Behind them stand black stone statues, including a large black Nandi bull with a garland on a red pedestal at right, and a flag-like pair of coloured cloth banners hangs from a pole. A banner with a portrait and a large signboard map stand nearby, and a silver SUV is parked at left. A woven mat lies on the ground in front.

A large black stone Nandi bull with a garland of marigolds sits on a terracotta plinth to the right, beside a row of dark stone deity murti and sculpted figures.

Behind him stand carved stone deity figures and a red-plinthed shrine with a garland of yellow and orange flowers at its base. A silver SUV, a palm-thatched roof and a green information board are visible in the background, with ceremonial fabric streamers hanging at the upper right. The man has long, wavy dark hair and a rudraksha mala at his neck, with bare upper torso visible; the surrounding setting suggests a temple courtyard ritual and meditation space. The scene reads as a Nithyananda ashram prayer or padapuja setting. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and saffron dress with a bare upper torso and beads, which is a compatible presentation, but the face is not visible from this angle, so identity is uncertain.2010-11-20November 13 20102010-11-13November 25 20102010-11-25November 25 20102010-11-25Outdoor photo at the Bidadi ashram grounds on a sandy courtyard.
