A woman in a home shrine room lights an oil lamp held in her right hand while holding a brass bell in her left. She wears a red-and-maroon blouse with bangles, a red and white flower garland in her hair, and gold earrings. In front of her, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a figure in saffron robes and an orange-beaded mala seated in meditation, garlanded with white jasmine and red flowers, with red petals scattered on a yellow-draped table. Behind her are shelves with brass vessels, a framed image of baby Krishna, metal deity murtis, and black elephant figurines on top. A small altar display holds further deity images and offerings.
