A photograph of a group of drummers gathered on a dirt ground in front of a palm-lined ashram site. Several men play large white-skinned drums with wooden sticks; one drum is green-rimmed at right. The men wear mixed casual clothing: white shirts, striped shirts, a red-and-white jersey, a green shirt and loose trousers. Behind them stands a white van with the Nithyanandam sign and an orange truck. A light-haired foreign man in a purple lanyard stands among them. A large board at upper left lists the special features of a sacred banyan tree in Kannada and English. No a person candidate is visible.
