Nithyanandapedia
Six boys crowd around a golden ornate throne in a photograph. Seated on the throne is a small statue of a bearded sannyasi-style figure with long hair, wrapped in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala, one hand raised in blessing. Above the throne hangs a large dark printed portrait of a turbaned figure with a rudraksha mala, labelled as a depiction. In front, two boys hold up clay items: a clay shivalingam and a clay tower-like structure. The boys wear checked shirts, white shirts and a green polo, some with a red tilak on the forehead, and two wear glasses.

Two small printed photographs of a bearded man in white are placed on the clay pieces, and a small framed picture sits on a platform. A tilak mark is visible on one boy's forehead.
