A home altar photographed head-on with no people present. A framed photograph in a gold frame shows a smiling man with long dark hair in an orange robe and beaded necklace, one hand raised, before a banyan-root backdrop; a printed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" is not visible, so this is a portrait of a man with appearance cues (long swept hair, orange clothing, necklace) that makes him a probable Swamiji depiction. Beside it hangs a poster of Shiva with trident and cobra, seated with a white bull and a Ganesha figure. In front, two embroidered cushions in maroon and blue support small printed holy cards of a seated figure in orange. A folded rust-coloured turban with a pearl brooch rests on a glass shelf among brass Ganesha and deity figurines, frangipani flowers, a lit oil lamp, a small bowl of offering and a candle in a glass, with a silver puja box in front.
