A deity murti stands centrally in a shrine heavily decorated with a large arch of marigolds, red roses, white flowers and green leaves, with a kalasha-like crown and gold ornaments. Two smaller attendant murtis flank it, each wearing yellow and green marigold garlands, one holding a red and blue canopy. Yellow cloth drapes the central figure and white ritual ropes lead toward it. Behind are stone pillars, a brass lamp stand and a red umbrella. Visible signage reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam and Ayurveda-related text. No people are visible; figures are statues.
