Night street scene in a crowded Tamil Nadu neighbourhood: a black car with a white banner reading NITHYANANDAM, its windscreen decorated with a white flower garland and lemons, sits at the left. Several saffron-robed sannyasis walk alongside with raised hands, one wearing a red head cloth and a rudraksha mala, another in a saffron shawl with a bare shaved head. Behind them a crowd of devotees in white clothes stretches their arms up toward the car. Mango leaf strings hang overhead beside a tree and a lit street lamp.
