Inside a shrine, a large framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" sits on an ornate gold throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth. The portrait shows a smiling man with an orange turban, red tilak and orange shawl. Below it, a figure in dark red robes kneels with back to the camera, flanked by two women in orange saris seated on the floor. Hanging brass oil lamps and rows of small lamps decorate the dark stone wall, and the scene suggests a devotional puja. The portrait is a depiction on a shrine, not a physical person present.
