Outdoors in a palm-lined compound, a barefoot man in a flowing orange-red sannyasi wrap stands beside a square stone-rimmed pit filled with water or fluid, scattered with rose petals. He raises one arm, holds a long wooden pole angled over the pit, and wipes it with a pale pink cloth. He wears a dark rudraksha mala across his chest and a white marking on his forehead. Behind him a white board with a map and the words Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam stands near a white car, and a second man in white clothing stands further back by a wall with smoke rising.

He grips a long wooden pole with one hand and holds a pale peach cloth in the other, stirring the pit. A rudraksha-style mala hangs at his chest and a white tilak marks his forehead. Behind him, a figure in white stands near a low wall, with coconut palms and a blue sky overhead.2009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15Outdoors near a white building with a maroon signboard reading Shri Ashram, a man in a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and bare-armed stands beside a white stepped platform with rising smoke, gripping a long wooden pole. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a white forehead mark, and his hair is tied up. Behind him a man in white clothes and an orange garment stands, and another person in white sits at the right near marigold plants. Green trees and a sunny sky frame the scene. The rising smoke suggests a fire ritual at the platform.2009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15June 15 20092009-06-15
