Dusk street scene at an entrance arch decorated with a large banner reading "Venerable Welcome to our Beloved Swamiji NITHYANANDA" and smaller "DHYANAPEETAM CENTRE, VELLORE" text. Large portrait panels flank the arch showing men in white turbans; a banner labelled Swamiji Nithyananda is printed, and the banner portraits are depictions, not physical people. Below, many people in white shirts and dhotis ride scooters and motorbikes or walk along a lit path. Strings of paper flags and small bunting hang overhead, with palm trees and floodlights in the background.
