Boys in casual shirts crowd around a clay model of a shivalingam with a small temple tower on a wooden board, posed before a large printed backdrop of a smiling figure in a saffron turban and shawl. In front of the backdrop sits a gilded throne holding a statue in saffron robes and rudraksha mala, one hand raised in blessing. A brass vessel and a small golden stupa-like object rest near the base of the throne. A portrait labelled Nithyananda is not visible, so no caption is claimed. The boys wear checked, striped and plain shirts, several with glasses and a red tilak on the forehead.
