Outdoor festival ground with a dusty dirt surface and a wooded hill behind. Many devotees mill about, mostly in white dhotis and white saris, with women in green, pink and orange salwar and saris. A large white canopy stage with a banner reads Aththmanda Nithyananda... and a decorated golden palanquin or float on the right, draped with white flower garlands, orange and red tassels and a canopy, carries a seated figure. A tractor with a blue and white body is at the lower right corner. A large red banner stands at the far left. Some people in the crowd are children in white and orange dresses. No clear identification of a specific person is made from appearance.
