A woman in a white sari kneels with her forehead touching a woven mat on a marble floor, performing pranam before a cane sofa draped with an orange cloth and red cushions. Garlanded with yellow and white flowers, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" rests on the sofa's left side; the portrait shows a man with long dark hair and an orange garment. Nearby stand a brass oil lamp, a brass plate of fruit and a tray of petals. Two women and a man in a red striped shirt stand behind her, one woman with hands folded in namaskar. A stack of white bricks lies on the right.
