A photograph of a temple-style hall seen from behind a shaved-headed priest in orange-saffron robes with a red-orange shawl draped over one shoulder and white ash bands on his bare arms. He stands on a polished white floor holding a tall silver lamp stand with multiple tiers of lit oil lamps, facing a golden-framed altar. On the altar, a deity murti is dressed with colourful garlands in red, yellow, green and purple. To the left, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a man with an orange head covering. Painted pillars with figures flank the entrance, and a few other people in orange garments sit in the background.
