A procession on a dirt road under a grey sky, with a line of devotees walking behind two large red, blue and gold umbrellas printed with a white dove and the word Nithyanandam. Many people wear orange and saffron cloths, rudraksha malas and vibhuti, and some wear white saris and dhotis. In the foreground a young man in an orange dhoti with a shirtless, marked torso holds his hands in anjali, while another young man in orange and gold carries an ornate golden offering vessel draped in purple cloth. A woman in a maroon sari holds her palms together, and a woman in white holds a silver tray with red flowers. Trees and bare bushes line the background.
