Night photo of a village road lined with palm trees where a black Ford SUV with a printed red banner reading NITHYANANDAM drives slowly forward, headlights on. Two small orange-canopied ornaments sit on the roof area. A line of women in saris and sarees stands along the left side of the road, hands pressed together in greeting. Beside the vehicle, a bald man in a white dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks carrying a tray with a small brass vessel and green leaves. Several men in white and checked shirts stand at the right edge. A white kolam rangoli with coloured accents is drawn on the asphalt in front. Orange-robed figures are visible further back near the vehicle.
