A gilded ornate throne with a tiger-skin cloth is backed by a framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" showing a smiling man in an orange turban, orange robes and a red bindi. Hanging brass lamps and dark rudraksha-style strands surround the throne. Four devotees in orange and maroon garments kneel in front of the throne, one shaved-headed child in orange sits at center, and a few others seated before the altar are partly visible. Painted deity figures stand at the right edge. The portrait is a printed depiction, not a person physically present, so the a person candidate appears only on the portrait.
