A framed photograph on a white-draped table shows a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala, long swept-back hair and a red bindi, one hand raised in blessing, against a backdrop of large banyan roots. A garland of white flowers encircles the frame. Before it sit a silver handbell, a leaf plate holding rice-based offering, two bananas, an incense stick and a black-and-silver oil lamp, plus a red-and-green incense bundle. The frame is labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" in print. Behind the table hang a red patterned cloth and blue-and-white draped curtains. The arrangement appears to be a puja or darshan altar. The printed photo is a depiction, and no physical people are visible.
