Nithyanandapedia
A gold-painted, ornately carved processional vehicle, the Ananda Ratham, stands under green trees. Its rear and front panels are decorated with carved floral and bird motifs. A large arched portrait above the windscreen shows a smiling man in a white turban and white clothing, labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda". A yellow banner reads "SRI NANDESHWAR - GRAND PROCESSION" and another yellow plate reads "NITHYANANDA DHYANAPEETAM ANANDA RATHAM". A white flag with a blue emblem is fixed to the side. Two people in white clothes stand near the vehicle, one in an orange shawl with his back to the camera, and another in white with a saffron-coloured wrap nearby.

A gold-painted, ornately carved decorated vehicle with a large arched frame dominates the frame, its front sculpted with a pair of peacock-like birds and a central panel reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam and Ananda Ratham. Above the windscreen a large portrait is framed in the arch, showing a smiling man in a white turban and white garment, labelled with the printed caption paramahamsa nithyanandar. Villagers line the street, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks at the front, and several people in saffron-free casual and traditional clothes press forward with raised phones. A woman in a blue sari stands at left beside a shaded stall, with overhead wires and tiled-roof houses behind.2006-09-30October 15 20062006-10-15December 14 20062006-12-14December 14 20062006-12-14
