A photograph of a golden throne with an ornate arched backrest topped by a gilded five-headed cobra hood, set against red drapes with yellow cloth ties. A large printed cutout of a smiling bearded man in a rust-coloured turban and saffron-toned robes, adorned with rudraksha and flower garlands, is placed on the throne; it is a cardboard figure rather than a physical person. Silver tridents stand on either side, with gilded lion-like figures at the foot and a yellow and white marigold garland on the tray. The caption reads Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adi KAILASA, Navaratri 2021 Day 1, Vishesha Dravya Homa and Chandi Homa Purnahuti. Because the figure is a printed depiction, the appearance-based label is a person.
