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.2010-11-20
