A woman in a rust-red sari with gold border stands at left with her back to the camera, one arm extended to touch a framed picture garlanded with red and white flowers. Beside her, a woman in white sari with red border presses her palms together in namaste and smiles. In the shrine, a small seated figurine in red and gold robes with a gold crown, rudraksha beads and red flower garlands sits before the framed image, with peacock feathers placed behind, a brass lamp, and small framed photos. A printed sign reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Tharamangalam. The tiled wall and wooden pillars frame the shrine. Two people are visible.
