Evening outdoor photo at an ashram courtyard with orange-washed walls and a corrugated awning. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together in prayer, head bowed, amid a crowd of devotees in white kurtas, white dhotis, green and red saris, and a yellow top, many with folded hands and rudraksha malas. A tall pole stands in front of a large purple-framed poster titled Miracles Of Nithyananda showing photos of vibhuti, kumkum, turmeric rice and rudraksha, a hand with a stone image, and a deity with kumkum. The figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so it is described by role only.
