Nithyanandapedia
A man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a woven mat atop a cushion, wearing an orange saffron wrap. He holds a small brass vessel in his hands with eyes closed, seemingly in meditation or pranayama. He is seated inside a circular outline of ash and sand decorated with white kolam-style patterns on a paved courtyard. Behind him stand coconut palms, thatched huts and a large signboard reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Bidadi Ashram with a map. A poster of a smiling person in orange clothing with a red turban hangs at the right edge, and a figure in white walks in the background.
