A printed greeting card or invitation with a glossy cover shows a crowd of bathers in a river at the Ujjain Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2016. Men with bare torsos and saffron cloths wade and splash in the water. A large golden kalasha pot sits in the lower centre, topped by a white eagle-like figure with spread golden wings and ornate gold necklaces. A small oval portrait of a bearded, ascetic-looking man with long hair is set within the pot. A pale address label on the card reads Nithyanandapuri, Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham, Nithyanandanagar, Karnataka. The card sits on a red carpet.
