A photograph of a devotee in white clothes kneeling and bowing forehead-down on a carpeted dais before a framed portrait of a bearded man in a white turban, draped with a red and gold cloth and a red-and-orange flower garland. The portrait is labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda". The devotee wears a red-orange shawl over white kurta and pants. Behind the portrait are a white-covered couch, a golden drape, string lights, a potted plant and flowers; a studio light stands at right. The kneeling figure is not identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so the role is devotee.
