A woman in a maroon sari with a wide gold border stands at a carved dark wooden home shrine, lighting an oil lamp or flame with her right hand over the offering tray. She wears white jasmine garlands around her neck, a beaded bangle on her upper arm and gold earrings, with her hair pulled back in a bun. The shrine holds fruit offerings, brass lamps and a framed portrait of a man with long hair in orange-saffron robes and a beaded necklace, garlanded with white flowers, labelled in the photo's overlay as a Nithyananda Paramashivam image. Plain cream walls and a cabinet frame the room.
