Outdoor photo at a paved courtyard in front of a thatched-roof hut and palm trees. A silver SUV is parked behind a man in an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala around his neck, walking barefoot and raising one hand in greeting. On the left, several people with folded palms stand in a line, including a blonde woman in a cream shawl. Behind them stands a large information board with a map titled Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, and a billboard on the right shows a smiling figure in a saffron head wrap in front of a bright red and white background. The man's appearance is uncertain, so he is described only by role and dress.
