A man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron dhoti and sleeveless top, stands bent over at a small shrine, adjusting or offering at a red-robed statue with a crown-like headdress. A yellow and red marigold garland hangs from his neck and another drapes the statue. Behind them, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a figure in white under a heart-shaped red backdrop, with a yellow and red garland on the frame. Brass oil lamps sit at the base, peacock feathers stand to the right, and dark tiled walls frame the scene.
