Nithyanandapedia
A decorated road vehicle, a truck with an ornate golden carved canopy and frame, leads a procession on a paved road lined with greenery. A large framed portrait of a smiling woman in orange robes and a rudraksha mala is mounted atop the canopy, flanked by an orange-and-blue flag. A white banner across the front shows two portraits: a smiling woman in orange with a mala, labelled Paramahamsa Nithyananda, and a deity pair adorned with flower garlands, labelled Anandeswarar. Tamil text reads Kodikkan Darshana Ratha Pada Yatthirai, with Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam printed on the banner. A man in orange robes stands at the roadside on the left, and another man in a white shirt stands on the right near the truck.
