Nithyanandapedia
A worshipper seen from behind, with long black hair and a white flower garland around the neck, wearing an orange garment, reaches toward a small deity murti seated on a yellow tiered altar. The altar, decorated with red dots and a finial, sits on a red and black base. Mango leaf strands and red-beaded green cords hang across the wall above, under a blue and red striped cloth canopy. A painted nameboard on the base reads SRI NITHYANANDA. A blurred hand is in the foreground. The scene appears to be a ritual touching of the murti at a small shrine.
