A photograph of a shrine corner set up with several devotional images. On the left, a black-and-white portrait of a seated man with long hair and a rudraksha mala sits in a gilded frame, with a printed caption below it reading Mahant Adhinayak Shri Guruparamparai, Sri 16 Sri Bhagavat Sri Nithyananda Paramashiva, Sri Janardanaprabhu Sri Paramashiva... The caption is partly unclear. Beside it stand a dark deity murti and a gold-toned statue wrapped in flower garlands. A tall painted panel shows a multi-armed goddess with a trident and lotus, and a painted ganesha figure stands at right with a yellow-and-orange garland. At the far right, a smiling person in orange clothing with long braided hair, rudraksha malas and a flower garland is depicted in a painting or print. A gold drape hangs in the centre of the shrine.
