Photograph of an ornate, temporary temple-style entrance gate at a riverside festival site under overcast sky. The tiered gopuram-like facade is painted in bright colours with a relief panel of multiple deities in a row beneath an arch. A bright orange cloth drapes over the central doorway, and a banner beside the arch reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetha. A steel railway bridge stands to the left, and a thatched canopy and a small wooden cart sit at the left edge. Several people in saris and shawls, including women in white and orange, walk across the sandy ground in front; a white hatchback car is parked at right.
