A photograph taken on a paved courtyard at an ashram. A man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands barefoot with his right hand raised in greeting, near a silver SUV parked on a dirt road. On the left, a woman with a patterned headscarf and other people sit with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them are thatched huts and palm trees. A large map board reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam and an ashram map. A poster on the right shows a smiling person wearing an orange turban. The man's identity is not established from appearance, so a person is unsure.
