A daytime outdoor procession moves along a dirt path past a thatched-roofed shrine under a clear blue sky. A silver SUV in the foreground bears a windshield sign reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeeta Mahasamsthanam. Many people walk in the procession, mostly men in white dhotis and white kurtas with yellow shawls, and women in saris of green, pink, white and orange. A bald man in white kurta and dhoti wears a yellow shawl and a beaded necklace and walks at the front of the group. Decorated parasols with multicoloured fringed canopies stand near the shrine, and a yellow-and-orange flag hangs on a pole to the right. Garden trees and a tall light pole fill the background.
