A photograph of a shrine with a gilded throne draped with a tiger-skin cushion, in front of which a large framed portrait shows a smiling man with a saffron-orange turban and a red bindi, labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" on the frame's lower plate. Three or four devotees in rust-red robes sit on the red carpet, raising oil lamps toward the throne. Flanking the shrine are painted deity statues with gold crowns and necklaces, and hanging lamps and bells hang above the throne. The portrait is a depiction, not a person present in the scene.
