A photograph of a Diwali puja at a room decorated with pink and white flower garlands and peacock feathers. A large framed portrait on the altar shows a man in orange robes with a flower garland, and a second framed portrait on the left is labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda". In front of the altar a multi-tiered brass oil lamp (aarti lamp) is surrounded by small floral arrangements and lamps. Several devotees sit on the floor in white clothes: a woman in white with an orange shawl on the left, a woman in a white sari with a gold border in the foreground, and seated men in white with bare or shaven heads. A standing man in a checked shirt watches at the right edge. Fruit and offerings are placed on a tray at the left.
