A framed photograph hangs on a dark green wall above a display of musical instruments. The framed print shows a smiling man seated cross-legged on a cushion before a tree trunk, wearing orange robes and a long white bead garland, with his right hand raised in blessing. Below it, on a wooden stand, rests a wooden veena-style stringed instrument with an ornate carved head, beside a rounded orange gourd instrument. The portrait is labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda". The setting appears to be a gallery display rather than a live event.
