A silver Ford Endeavour SUV with a red beacon light on its roof drives along a palm-lined rural road, its windscreen banner reading "NITHYANANDA DHYANAPEETAM" in red letters. A small saffron flag is mounted on the bonnet. Crowds of men and a few women in traditional dress line both sides of the vehicle, many reaching toward it; one woman in a light blue sari holds a dark ceremonial fan or whisk. Several men wear white dhotis and shirts, and one man in a striped shirt stands nearby. Coconut palms and green foliage fill the background.
