Outdoor ground-breaking ritual on a dirt site with stacked concrete blocks, a blue tarp fence and a paved path. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and sleeveless red top, with an orange shawl draped over one shoulder, stands barefoot at right holding a tall metal lamp stand and a small tray of flower petals. In the foreground left, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" is garlanded with marigolds and rose petals on a white-draped table, beside a brass oil lamp, a plate of fruit and a small brass vessel. Three brass kalashas and a coconut sit in front at lower right, consistent with a boomi pooja.
