A silver Ford SUV with Karnataka registration KA04 MN 4444 drives slowly down a narrow concrete lane lined with banana plants and low walls. A small orange flag is mounted on the front bumper, and a white banner across the windshield reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetha Mahasamsthana. Beside the vehicle walks a man in white dhoti and white shirt with a cloth over his shoulder. Dense green banana leaves overhang the lane on the left, and a pale multi-storey building with balconies stands at the right edge.
