A dark grey SUV drives slowly through a narrow street in a Tamil Nadu town, its windscreen bearing a red-and-white banner reading NITHYANANDAM. A crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis presses around the vehicle, several reaching toward it. Behind them, banana stalks and leaves decorate a doorway, and a large green framed portrait of a deity figure in red and gold hangs on a shop wall beside an Orient Fans advertisement. Utility poles and low buildings line the street.
