In front of the throne, a man in saffron robes and a saffron shawl kneels on a red carpet with hands folded near his face, receiving a padapuja-style honouring. Several saffron-robed monks sit on the left, a bald monk in orange sits in the lower left foreground, and seated devotees in white and blue clothes watch from behind a metal railing. Behind them hangs a world map titled Nithyananda Vedic Temples, and a wall poster shows framed photographs of spiritual figures. A kalasha-style brass vessel stands near the wall at left.
