At centre, an older bald man with a tilak and white-painted forehead, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, multiple beaded rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, is walking forward with one hand raised. Beside him a woman in a coral-pink sari holds a red umbrella over him, and two men in white dhotis with gold borders hold up additional red umbrellas. On the right, a man with bare upper body and a red-bordered white dhoti carries a decorated tray with flowers and a kalasha-like vessel. A dark SUV and a signboard reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam stand in the background.
