A photograph of a shrine niche with a large framed portrait on a gilded throne-like seat. The framed portrait shows a smiling man in an orange turban and orange shawl with a red bindi, captioned in print as Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The golden throne has a tiger-skin cushion and empty seats, flanked by carved lion heads, with black beaded strings and hanging brass lamps around it. Three people sit at the base: a figure in orange cloth on the left, a central priest in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha beads, and a person in red on the right, seemingly performing ritual service. Painted deity figures holding lamps and an ornate kalasha-like decoration frame the sides.
