Nithyanandapedia
A procession moves along a dusty dirt road past a white building with a corrugated roof and a tall water tank. Devotees walk in white dhotis and white kurtas, many with yellow shawls, and some wear orange garments. Several carry tall decorated banners and ornate umbrellas in red, yellow and blue, while orange flags flutter overhead. A teal and yellow vehicle labelled Shree Krishna Transports stands at the left edge of the road. A banner reading Nithyapeetam is carried near the front of the group.
