Nithyanandapedia
Photograph of a large ornate temple-style gateway with painted gopuram-like tiers and a painted panel of multiple deity figures across the arch, in front of a red canopy entrance. A banner reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeeta with a portrait labelled Paramahamsa Nithyananda, showing a smiling figure with hands raised in blessing. In front, a golden palanquin with a blue fringed canopy and a golden swan-like carriage stands near a speaker. Around 15-20 people crowd the entrance: an elderly bearded sadhu in white with orange dhoti holding a steel pot, a man in a green sweater, men in white dhotis and shirts, and a man in an orange turban.
