A man in white shirt and white dhoti, with silver-grey hair, carries a large framed painted portrait held in both hands across a construction site. The portrait shows a saffron-robed figure with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala seated in lotus posture against a white banyan-root backdrop, with the printed caption Paramahamsa Nithyananda at the bottom. A second man in a white shirt walks behind him. An orange flag on a pole stands on a concrete plinth, with sand heaps, cement blocks, sacks and a green bucket around the site.
