A home shrine table draped with a white floral-patterned cloth holds a puja arrangement with lit oil lamps on brass stands. Two framed portraits stand behind: the left one shows a seated figure in orange robes and a beaded necklace in front of tree roots, with a printed caption reading "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" along the bottom edge. The right portrait, a larger framed image, shows a figure in white dhoti and shawl with gold trim and a gold necklace, seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, with Tamil script beneath. In the centre is a framed deity murti of a standing multi-armed form with a red-and-gold ornate background, a small flame before it. A brass plate holds incense sticks and a lit wick, with a small kumkum-marked stone, a black stone and a small lingam-like object nearby. A red-covered book sits at the right edge. No people are physically present in the scene.
