A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and long dark swept-back hair smiles and raises a hand in greeting; the figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues.

Behind is a silver Ford SUV with a windshield placard reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetha Mahasamsthana and plate KA04 MN4444, and a string of paper flags with blue and pink designs hangs over the lane beside a banana bunch and palm trees.
