A home shrine table covered with a leopard-print cloth, displaying a framed photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair wearing an orange robe and a white-beaded necklace, raising one hand in a blessing gesture against a banyan-root background. Beside him is a large framed print of Lord Shiva seated with a trident, crescent moon and a tiger skin beneath him, both framed portraits garlanded with red, orange and white flower malas. A brass kalasha or pot, small brass deity figures adorned with white jasmine and blue flowers, a bowl of white rice, a bowl of green chutney and a lit oil lamp in a brass dish are arranged on the table. Printed text on a plaque in the lower left reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda, attributed to the portrait's caption. No physical people are present.
