A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a sacred thread and rudraksha-style beads stands at a golden deity murti of a multi-armed deity seated on a throne, holding a lit flame toward it. Children with folded hands stand in front, a young girl in a green dress and a boy in a white shirt among them, while a woman in a pale veil stands at right. A small blue-and-yellow Krishna-style figure garlanded in flowers sits on a tray with offerings of sweets, lamps and a cradle swing decorated with marigolds at left. Framed portraits hang on the wall, one showing a seated man in orange with a garland and labelled 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda'; a second wall banner shows a figure in white.
