Nithyanandapedia
Outdoor procession along a dirt path under bare-trunked palms and shade trees. A decorated umbrella with a Nithyananda Peetam emblem, fringed with multicoloured tassels, is held overhead. A man in an orange saffron robe with a multicoloured flower garland and a walking stick leads, with long swept-back hair and a sandal-wearing stride; his appearance is consistent with a person, though this is uncertain. Two shaven-headed men in white dhotis with orange shawls walk ahead of him, and a saffron flag is raised behind. Behind, men in white dhotis and an older woman in a white sari with folded hands follow the procession.
