Nithyanandapedia
A temple shrine with a gilded arch framed by yellow and purple marigold garlands, housing two metal deity murtis: a male figure with a trident and red turban, and a female figure in a red sari with gold jewellery. In front, a white-clad devotee bends over a black stone lingam pouring liquid from a silver vessel, while a woman in a maroon blouse and beige sari reaches in with a small silver pot. In the foreground, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a smiling man in orange robes and a white flower garland, seated on a red chair draped with a yellow and purple garland. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a small seated figure in a blue cap and brown cloth with a garland sits at right.
