A group of women sit cross-legged on a striped floor mat during a Navaratri puja at an indoor setting with yellow walls and blue draped fabric decorated with marigold garlands. A large printed portrait of a man with a red-orange turban and saffron-orange clothing, a rudraksha mala and a flower garland is placed on a raised seat at the back left, labelled with the printed caption Paramahamsa Nithyananda, not a physical person. Many brass oil lamps are lit along the mat, with banana leaf plates holding fruit, sweets, kumkum, flowers and betel. On the right a small deity murti stands under an arch on a draped altar. Women in colourful saris and salwar kameez, with bangles and jewellery, offer lamps and prepare the leaves; one small child in white reaches toward an offering.
