He looks downward with hands at his sides. Behind him is a red-orange temple wall and a blackened ash fire pit, with a plastic water bottle and a blue mat nearby. A red sign in the background reads that this deity is undergoing an intensive consecration process by Paramahamsa Nithyananda for installation in the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Paris temple. The scene suggests a sadhana or homa setting; the man is a devotee or sannyasi and his appearance does not clearly match the a person description, so the a person value is unsure.2010-08-25
