Nithyanandapedia
A crowd of devotees gathers outside a green-doored building in a narrow courtyard. In the foreground a long-haired figure with their back to the camera wears a bright orange top and stands facing the group. Around them, many men in white shirts and dhotis and women in saris, including one in orange and red, lean in, some with hands folded or raised. A white plastic chair sits near a white car with a partially visible logo on its side. Palm-leaf decorations hang beside the doorway, and a few onlookers stand back on the steps and by the windows.
