Nithyanandapedia
A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes stands on an elevated platform outdoors, head bowed, wearing long garlands of white jasmine and orange-red flowers and a dark rudraksha mala. Behind him is a colourful canopy with blue, green and red panels reading "Nithyanapeet". Seated devotees in white clothes with orange shawls sit on a hillside with hands folded in prayer, and a hill and temple gopuram rise in the background. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala. Rose petals are heaped at right and a green palm-leaf fan is at lower left.
