A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with an orange border stands at left, pouring milk from a gold vessel over a tall black lingam set in a black yoni pedestal. Behind the lingam a gold arch frames a red cloth and a red garland. A brass trishul stands at the left edge. On the right wall a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a smiling figure with a red garland and rudraksha-like beads; the portrait is a printed picture, not a person present in the room, and its presentation is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm identity, so this is only a depiction candidate. Ceiling lights are visible at top. One physical person is present.2025-11-08KAILASA CHENNAI, INDIA on 3/22/20212021-03-22November 28 2022 sripuram2022-11-28A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a gold border stands at left, pouring milky liquid over a black Shiva lingam set in a black yoni-pitha basin.
