A photograph of a shrine with a large portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" in a gilded frame, showing a smiling man in orange turban and saffron robe with a red bindi. Golden lion figures flank the golden throne-like seat draped in red cushions, with blue and green fabric behind. A silver trident stands at right. In the foreground, two people kneel facing the portrait: a shaven-headed person in rust-brown robe holding a lamp, and a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala lighting a multi-tiered brass oil lamp with burning wicks. The portrait is a printed photo, not a physical person, so only the two kneeling devotees are counted.
