A black car with a white banner reading NITHYANANDAM across its windshield is stopped at left; a man in a saffron robe sits in the driver's seat. A bald, shaven-headed man in white ritual clothing with a gold-bordered shawl and gold necklace stands at the car door, facing several men: one in a white shirt and brown-gold dhoti, another in a gold-patterned kurta, and a smiling man with a red-and-gold garland. Shop signs, street lights and a parked vehicle with lights are in the background.
