Close view of a brass tray set with three gilded metal deity murtis standing on pedestals: a small figure on the left holding a yellow flower, a central four-armed deity with a tall conical crown holding a white lotus and a red rose, and a figure on the right in a long gold garment holding a yellow flower. A dark stone shivalinga-like base at the front is covered with white and pink flowers, and yellow petals are scattered across the tray. Behind them are a yellow and white marigold garland, a small framed temple image, a gold-rimmed ceremonial bowl, and a background poster of a figure in red and pink garments with garlands. Small oil lamps and offering plates sit on an orange cloth, indicating a puja arrangement.

A photograph of a home shrine arranged for daily worship, with no people visible. On a silver embossed tray sit a brass deity murti decorated with white jasmine flowers and orange and yellow blossoms, a bronze Nandi-like bull figure, small white bowls of cut fruit or sweet offering, and a brass vessel with flowers. Strands of rudraksha beads hang at upper right beside a lotus arrangement. Behind the tray, a framed printed image shows a figure seated before a multi-headed cobra canopy, and a smaller printed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" sits at upper left beside a drum and a painted figure in orange robes and gold necklaces. The scene is a puja altar with flower offerings and sacred objects.
