A photograph of a puja set up before a framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" on a dark wooden stand, decorated with a red, orange and yellow flower garland. The portrait shows a man in orange robes and beads seated outdoors. Two gold lion figures flank the stand, which has a leopard-print cloth draped over it. In front, a woman in a white sari with red border kneels on a leopard-print mat, holding a small brass vessel, with brass plates of offerings, flower petals, incense sticks and a red-cloth tray. Flower arrangements in purple, pink and white stand at the sides, and a second person in white kneels at the right edge. The portrait is a printed picture, not a physical person.
