A line of devotees in white ritual clothing stands outdoors in front of a red-and-orange building with a tiled roof, a Nithyananda Mission Secretariat sign with a framed portrait above it. Several women and men carry brass plates of flowers, fruit and offerings. The woman in front wears a white sari with a red and blue border and a purple beaded mala. A man at right wears a white kurta with an orange shawl and a pineapple on his tray. Potted palms and a white-draped offering table with yellow cloth are behind them. The arrangement suggests a puja offering procession.
