Nithyanandapedia
A street procession in a mountain town, with snow-dusted peaks and a shop hillside behind. Marchers in saffron and orange shawls and clothing walk along the road under a large red and purple canopy banner reading "Nithyanandapeetam" with embroidered elephants, birds and kalasha-style motifs. Several devotees in orange carry ceremonial poles with embroidered umbrellas and pennants. A man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a woman in a red-and-orange dress lead the group. A State Bank of India billboard stands at right. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so roles are given instead.
