A photograph inside a temple hall with white marble pillars and a dim interior. In the centre, a framed printed portrait in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a long necklace rests on a tiger-striped throne-like seat, labelled with the printed caption "Paramahamsa Nithyananda". Two people kneel before it: a man in white with a yellow shawl and a white headband pours from a brass vessel, and a woman with hair in a bun in white sits facing the portrait. Brass oil lamps and a small brass kalasha-like vessel stand on a low table in front, and a deity murti in a shrine niche and a carved dark statue are behind them.
