A red Massey Ferguson 1035 DI tractor pulls a wooden cart carrying two colourful clay Ganesha murti idols, one in pink and red with a crown and one in pink with an orange headdress. The driver, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers, steers with one hand while holding a small object. Behind the cart, a barefoot man in saffron-orange dhoti and a light sash walks beside a few onlookers. Coconut palms, a blue sign reading TEMPLE in English and Kannada, and a red-brick wall frame a sandy path on the Nithyananda ashram grounds.
