Outdoor photo of a man seated cross-legged in meditation on a woven straw mat atop an orange cushion, centred within a circular kolam-style floor design of white and coloured patterns bordered by grey gravel and earth. He wears an orange saffron wrap and a long rudraksha mala, with long dark hair swept back, eyes closed and hands resting in his lap beside a small brass vessel. Behind him stand coconut palms, thatched huts, a parked silver SUV and a large signboard with a map and the name Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, plus a billboard portrait of a smiling person in an orange headwrap. A white-clad person with a blue backpack walks in the background. Nothing visibly identifies the seated man as the a person named on the page beyond his saffron clothing and long hair, so he is treated as an uncertain candidate.
