A photograph of a group gathered at the entrance of a red-brick building with a sign reading "Nithyananda Sacred Arts University" and a portrait of a figure with the caption "Place of rebirth for vedic culture and civilization" above the doorway. In the centre, a man with bare chest and a saffron-orange-and-gold wrap stands with his arm raised, with shaved hair and a rudraksha-style necklace, appearing to be a sannyasi or ritual teacher, possibly the a person by appearance cues. Around him are people in white kurtas and dhotis, a woman in a maroon top holding an orange bag, a woman in white with an orange shawl, and visitors in western and salwar clothing, with a woman in an orange-and-red sari and beaded necklace at right holding a water bottle. Metal shutters are pulled open on the doorway behind them.
