Photograph of a crowd gathered outside a green-doored building beside a silver car with a 'Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Manavalaya' sign on its side. A woman in an orange blouse with long dark hair, seen from behind, raises her arm toward the crowd. Men in white shirts and women in saris, some with folded hands in greeting, press close around the car. A man in a white shirt and lanyard stands at the front. A figure inside the car window wears white with a white beard, but the appearance is too uncertain to identify him. Bamboo poles and a green-painted doorway frame the scene.
