Nithyanandapedia
A procession of ashram monks walks along a dirt road past a red-and-white striped building at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. In front, a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a bright orange umbrella over a monk in white dhoti and shawl with red borders. Behind them, several shaved-headed monks in white dhotis and red-bordered shawls walk barefoot or in sandals, with a monk in orange robes carrying a black bag and another wearing a gold-beaded necklace. Palm trees and a green shrub frame the scene, and a signboard on the left reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam.

A bell hangs at the top left.2010-02-12
