A printed poster behind the altar shows a figure with an orange turban and garland and a second panel showing seated and standing figures in ornate yellow and red garments. A small framed card labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a seated figure in orange with a rudraksha mala. A brass deity murti sits on a plate at right and a bare arm with a beaded bracelet reaches in from the left. A clear plastic box of offerings sits behind.
