A framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" sits on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-skin seat cover, flanked by gold lion-shaped armrests. The portrait shows a smiling figure in an orange turban and orange shawl with a red bindi. Multi-tiered brass oil lamps burn in the foreground, with hanging bells, brass lamps and colourful tassel garlands framing the altar. A partly visible person's shoulder and hand appear at the left edge, and a devotee's head is visible in the lower left corner. The portrait depicts the figure, so the candidate is shown in a depiction.
