Photograph of a ceremonial padapuja setup in front of a cutout portrait of a smiling man in a maroon turban and maroon robe, holding a trident and seated cross-legged on a book labelled "Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam" with a decorated seat behind him. The portrait wears layered gold and red-stone necklaces, rudraksha-style gold beads and a garland; the tall ornate chair is backed by a fan of jewelled green and gold panels. In the foreground a large brass tray holds silver padukas (sandals) decorated with orange, yellow and red roses and green leaves, with two brass kalasha-style vessels. Only the printed portrait is present; no physical people are visible.
