A framed printed portrait hangs on a pale green wall above an altar. The portrait shows a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a gold ceremonial necklace and a red bindi, raising one hand in blessing against a banyan tree's roots; a caption on the print reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Below on a table stand three small deity murtis decorated with white flower garlands and yellow marigolds: a figure in red and blue, a central figure with a trident and green headdress, and a seated figure in a maroon brocade sari with gold jewellery. Yellow marigolds lie at their bases.

He wears a long garland of pink and white flowers, a multi-strand pearl necklace, gold chains and gold armbands. Before him on a tiger-striped cushion are small deity murti decorated with yellow and pink flowers, flanked by two smaller figures, with a black ceremonial fan or chamara at right. Rose petals are scattered on the cloth in front.
