Nithyanandapedia
Outdoor street procession on a sunny day. A large vertical banner on a decorated golden float shows a black-and-white portrait of a smiling woman with dark hair wearing an orange garment and beads; below it a printed Tamil caption reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda and a name, with Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam printed beneath. A multicolour umbrella with fringe stands over the float. Several men in saffron-orange robes walk along the road, one at the front in an orange garment, another in orange with a shawl adjusting his clothes. Behind them men in white dhotis and white shirts follow, one with a shaved head in an orange wrap, and a uniformed police officer stands to the left. Orange flags are visible in the background among buildings.
