Nithyanandapedia
A large indoor hall with white walls and a wooden door, where many people sit in rows on striped mats and chairs, all wearing white or white-banded blindfolds across their eyes. Most are dressed in white, cream, blue and pastel shirts and saris, with a few in orange and red. A banner on the right reads Nithyanandam with a portrait photo, and a panel on the left labelled Dhyanapeetam Vedic Temples shows temple images. Two children sit among the adults, and an orange-clad figure sits at the front right. Brightly coloured hangings hang on the upper left and right walls.
