A group of devotees, mostly men and women in white ritual clothes, walk behind a large maroon banner that reads a Tamil heading with the number 41 and shows a painted portrait of a figure with long hair and ornate necklaces, held by a man in white. Red flags are raised, and an orange-and-white ceremonial umbrella is carried. A woman in a white sari holds a brass plate, and another woman in a purple-bordered white sari presses her palms together. Trucks painted with NITHYANANDAM lettering and a National Highways Authority bus shelter appear in the background.
