Outdoors under palm trees, a framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" shows a smiling man with long dark hair, orange robe and a white flower garland, seated and raising one hand. Beneath it on a table sit a figurine in orange robe with an orange head-wrap and a rudraksha mala, a doll in orange clothes, marigold flowers, a small brass object and framed photos. Three young men stand beside the table: one in an orange striped shirt with a lanyard, one in a white shirt with a lanyard, and one in white with a yellow shawl, the last two smiling. Two other people are visible in the background.

Yellow and pink flowers are scattered on the white cloth, with a small brass figure, a red cloth, a plastic bag, and framed booklets or CDs.

The framed print shows a smiling figure with long hair in saffron clothing and a white garland, seated in front of a large banyan-type root structure, with the printed caption 'Paramahamsa Nithyan...' visible on the frame. Behind him, a person in white with an orange shawl holds the frame, and another person in orange sits at the left edge.
