Night puja before a golden deity murti of a goddess, adorned with a gold crown, gold necklace and a long garland of yellow, white, red and multicoloured flowers, seated on an ornate golden throne-like arch. Two people stand at left: a woman with long hair in a rust-red and gold sari with a yellow flower garland, holding her hands over a brass oil lamp, and a shaved-headed man in orange-red dhoti with rudraksha mala and spectacles, appearing to chant. Brass oil lamps with flames sit in front of the deity. Behind them a large banner shows a smiling man in an orange turban and saffron robe with rudraksha mala, hands raised in blessing, against a world map with lit points; the banner reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The banner figure is a depiction; no clear appearance-based candidate is physically present.
