A gold-painted, ornately carved ceremonial truck, the Ananda Ratham, stands on a dirt path beside green trees. Its front carries a large framed portrait of a smiling man in a white turban and white clothes, labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda". Below the windscreen a banner reads "SRI ANANDESHWAR - GRAND PROCESSION", and a front plate reads "NITHYANANDA DHYANAPEETAM ANANDA RATHAM". Two carved golden birds flank the front panel. A white flag is mounted at the side. On the right, a woman in white clothes with an orange shawl stands near the vehicle, and another person in white is partly visible at the far right. A man in white stands on top of the truck, raising an arm.
