Outdoor photo of a decorated entrance pavilion labelled NITHYANANDAM in a colourful striped and patterned banner arch, with a large portrait of a smiling bearded man in orange and a side portrait of a smiling woman in orange, flanked by banana leaves and striped red-and-white walls. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and carries a walking stick as he steps down a concrete staircase; the possibly Swamiji-like figure shows distinctive long swept hair and saffron clothing, so this is a probable identification. Around him are people in white dhotis and kurtas with orange shawls, a woman in a green sari, and a woman in a pink sari. Multicoloured umbrellas and a circular portrait above the arch frame the scene.

A man in a long orange robe with long swept-back dark hair walks forward holding a walking stick, probable Swamiji by his long hair, orange robe and walking-stick presence, with a shawl-like orange cloth across his shoulders. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts and women in saris follow, some with folded hands. Large printed portraits of a smiling figure in orange hang on the side walls, and the pavilion sign reads NITHYANANDAM.

A kolam floor design lies on the ground in front, and a blue ornamental logo appears at upper left.2007-02-15February 15 20072007-02-15February 15 20072007-02-15February 15 20072007-02-15Outdoor photograph of a festival entrance under a white-and-grey canopy tent with a sloped roof.
