Indoor shrine on a white-draped table beside a window with iron grilles. Two large framed portraits are garlanded with white jasmine, pink and red flowers and yellow marigold. The right portrait shows a smiling man with long hair in orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, raising one hand, in front of a banyan tree; a caption reads PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA. The centre portrait shows a similar figure in white with a crown-like backdrop, also garlanded. Two brass oil lamps with lit flames, smaller framed photos, a seated brass deity murti and a small orange-clad figurine complete the arrangement, with orange cloth draped at left.
