Night scene outside a building at an ashram. A silver pickup truck is parked at left with its driver-side door open, and people sit inside it. Four people stand on a dirt courtyard near the truck: a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a red-striped shawl bows toward the open door, a man in a brown robe stands behind him, and a woman in an orange sari and a man in white with an orange shawl stand beside them. On the right, two men in white with orange or yellow shawls stand on concrete steps beside a lit wall lamp.

Inside the front passenger seat sits a smiling person with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe with a gold ornate necklace and a red bindi.

Behind them a man in white clothing stands near the car, and a string of lights hangs over the barricaded area.

A photograph at an outdoor ashram courtyard with a white-washed shrine holding a black Shiva lingam draped in orange and yellow marigold garlands, a tall copper kalasha above it, palm trees and marigold beds behind. A silver-beige sedan is parked in front. A man with long swept-back hair, a beard and gold bracelet, wearing saffron/orange robes, steps toward the car, while another saffron-robed attendant stands beside him and a third saffron-clad man leans in at the open car door. Two men in plain white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby. The Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style setting is outdoors on a gravel path. Several saffron-robed men are visible, and the central figure has distinctive long hair, beard and saffron robes, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate.
