A photograph of a thatched-roof shed with a concrete-block base and lattice walls on a dirt ground. Two large banners on the wall show a smiling man in a yellow-orange turban and dark clothing beside Kannada text and English words 'Nithyananda Centre for Metal Works' and 'Nithyananda Centre for Wood carving'. A bare-backed figure with long dark hair and an orange cloth wrapped at the waist walks away from the camera toward the shed. Only this one person is physically present. The banner portraits are printed images, not physical people. The figure's back is shown, so no distinctive facial or ornamental cues are visible for identification.
