Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree at Nithyananda Peetham, a bare-chested man with a tall black turban-style head wrap and a red-orange shawl draped over his body smiles while standing on a stone-paved courtyard. Around him, several people in orange-red wraps and rudraksha beads face him in a loose circle; one woman in a red shawl with a gold necklace stands beside him, and a man in a pink shirt and green lungi stands at left.
