A large framed photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange robe, seated cross-legged in front of a banyan tree trunk with one hand raised in greeting. A white beaded necklace with a pendant hangs on his chest. The print is bordered by garlands of white jasmine and yellow and red marigolds, and a printed caption along the bottom reads 'PARAHAMSA NITHYANANDA'. In front of the portrait sits a ritual tray with incense sticks, a green lime, white flowers, a brass dish and a small box of matches, with a copper vessel at the left edge.
