Indoor devotional scene in a room with pink walls where a seated man in orange robes and a red-and-gold turban receives garlands of white jasmine and red flowers. A woman in a white sari with gold border pours orange petals or powder from a steel vessel over his head, while a standing woman in orange sari and rudraksha mala looks on. Boys in white shirts and marigold garlands hold flowers and a blue plastic bag, and men in white and checked shirts stand behind. A framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" hangs on the wall, and a seated man at the far right wears orange robes and a rudraksha mala. A silver staff stands beside the seated figure. Flower petals cover the floor. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man in orange robes, turban and garlands, receiving the ritual.
