Nithyanandapedia
A photograph of a smiling man at a public event, wearing an ornate gold crown decorated with a peacock feather, an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders, and a long garland of white flowers with pink and green blossoms over red garlands. He raises one arm outward while others around him in white clothing, some with white shirts and spectacles, clap and smile. Behind them hangs a dark grey draped curtain, and a partial banner at left is printed with the words Nithyanapeetam and an illustration of a bird. A man at right wears spectacles and a red-and-yellow tilak mark. The man in the crown has a visible red mark on his forehead and appears to be the central figure of the celebration, with the crowd gathered closely around him.
