At night, an SUV with a windshield banner reading NITHYANANDA drives over a carpet of scattered flower petals on a dirt road, bright headlights glaring. Devotees crowd both sides; a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left holding a woven basket and reaching toward the vehicle, while a bare-chested young man in the foreground scatters petals with his hands. Occupants inside the car are visible only as dark shapes behind the glass. Thatched structures and trees fill the background.
