A photograph at an ashram courtyard of a black Ford SUV with its driver's door open and a driver inside. A man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap, with a gold-and-beaded neck garland and bangles, walks barefoot and smiles beside the vehicle. Behind him, three young men in saffron-orange robes with red borders stand with a silver tray holding a floral arrangement, and a drummer holds a hand drum. The orange-robed figure at left, with shaved head, presses palms together in greeting toward the car. A red brick wall and tiled floor form the backdrop.2013-07-25A dark blue Ford SUV with Tamil Nadu registration TN 25 AE 4005 moves slowly down a village lane through a dense crowd. A red-and-white banner reading NITHYANANDAM is displayed across the windscreen.
