A figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban stands at left, holding a lit oil lamp in one hand while extending the other toward a framed portrait, with petals scattering in the air. The framed portrait of a seated figure in orange robes, labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda", is garlanded with pink and yellow flower strands and sits on a white-draped table with flower offerings and a small red elephant figurine. Two people stand partly visible at the left edge in white and light clothing, one holding the lamp's base. Plain concrete walls and a window grille frame the scene.

The second figure, in orange with a white shawl, holds a folded white cloth.
