A stack of gold-toned Shiva Deeksha Spiritual Name Certificates lies in a heap on a dark blue cloth inside a metal tray on green carpet. Each certificate shows a bearded man in a red turban with a rudraksha-style necklace and white garland, raising a hand in blessing, beside a line drawing of Shiva with a trident and an illustrated deity. The top certificate reads that the name was blessed by Paramahamsa Nithyananda for Shiva Deeksha, with blank fields for name, date and place. No people are visible; the portrait appears as a printed depiction on the certificates.
