A procession on a dirt path through trees. A central man wears a dark-red sanyasi robe, a red-and-white garland, heavy gold necklaces and a tall dark hair bun with a gold ornament; he walks with hands folded, and the page places a person at this event, but his appearance gives only moderate cues, so this is marked unsure. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders and orange-robed attendants wear rudraksha malas. A man at right holds a long trident-topped staff, and a woman in red carries a brass plate with offerings. Banners in red and gold with a white dove emblem are raised above the group, and a green sign reads NITHYANANDA TV LIVE.
