A photograph of a padapuja ceremony in a red-draped hall. A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion sits with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing orange robes, a gold chain, and a white tripundra mark on his forehead. In front of him, lit oil lamps with multiple tiers are burning, and flowers and offerings sit on a tray. A woman in white with an orange shawl and a gold bangle reaches toward the offerings, and a child and other devotees are partly visible at the edges. Framed portraits hang on the red backdrop, and pink flowers decorate the throne area. The seated man appears to be a person based on the throne, orange robes and ceremonial gold chain, while the printed name on the banner reads Nithyananda Paramashivam.
