A seated priest in a red turban and red-and-maroon garments sits on a red-draped chair in a small room, smiling with raised hands and wearing a rudraksha mala and flower garlands, while a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" hangs behind him with a rudraksha garland. Before him on the floor are a pair of gold padukas on a pink cloth, a gold ornamental arch, a kalasha with mango leaves, bananas, flowers, a small brass lamp, and a lit oil lamp, indicating a laghu puja setup. A framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure hangs on the right wall, and a second orange-robed portrait with flower garland appears on the back wall. The priest's presence is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, with rudraksha mala, ornate garlands and a red turban as cues; the event is described as a laghu puja.
