Night photo of a cyclone relief gathering outside a small concrete shrine with a corrugated metal shutter and white iron gate, lit by a bright light at the doorway. A crowd of men and boys stands along a wooden barrier; one young man in a yellow-and-white striped shirt and blue shorts stands in front, and a shirtless boy sits atop the gate pillar wearing a black top. Beside them a white pickup truck is parked, with an orange flag on a pole nearby. In the foreground a large orange banner shows a smiling saffron-robed figure with a turban and the caption Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, with Thane Cyclone Relief Work printed below. Coconut palms and a tiled roof sit in the background.
