Nithyanandapedia
A festival procession on a street with a crowd of many devotees pressing close. A man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron-gold turban stands on a flower-decked ratha/chariot, smiling and holding a tall gold trident staff. The chariot is garlanded with pink, white, orange and yellow flower strings, and a saffron flag with a Nithyanandapeetam logo hangs from its front. Devotees in white and colourful saris, some with glasses, line the chariot and watch; a woman in red and gold dress appears at right. Earth-moving machinery is visible in the background.

A central figure seated on a decorated palanquin wears a gold-and-red crown, an orange robe with long dark hair, and a layered red and white flower garland, with white tripundra marks on the forehead. He smiles and extends his right arm while holding a silver trident-topped staff. Around him, shirtless attendants in white-ash body marks and gold necklaces carry silver ceremonial staffs and an axe-like standard, and a tasselled canopy of red, teal and yellow garlands covers the palanquin. A bridge and distant crowd appear in the hazy background.
