Smaller portraits in red robes flank the arch posts. A blue sign on a pole at right shows another portrait in orange and the text Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Baroda Center. A grey Mahindra-style vehicle is parked at right, and a few people in ordinary clothes walk along the lane, with the building and palm trees behind.
