A tiered brass oil lamp with many lit wicks stands in the foreground of a temple shrine beneath a cream arch painted with gold floral scrollwork. Behind it, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a smiling man in an orange turban with a red bindi and orange shawl, placed on a gold ornate throne-like stand. Multicolored tassels in red, orange, yellow and green hang from above, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the seat below. Small lamps flicker on the ledge, and a partially visible figure appears at the lower edge. No other people are clearly visible.
