She wears gold hoop earrings, a bun of dark hair, and a beaded rudraksha-style bangle on her upper arm. A small brass lantern with a lit flame and a bouquet of pink and white flowers sit on the ledge at left, with a blue painted panel bearing Tamil lettering. Blurred golden and maroon cloth hangings and a dark stone base appear in the background. This is an ashram temple setting with devotional prostration, a photograph captioned Nithyananda Paramashivam

The person wears long white and gold jasmine garlands, a rudraksha mala, and a gold-coloured bangle-style arm ornament.
