Nithyanandapedia
A photograph of a shrine niche with three large painted deity murtis or statues on a raised stone platform, framed by a gilded arch. The central figure has a crown, a bare chest with garlands, and holds ritual implements, flanked by two figures in orange and saffron garments draped with white and red flower garlands. A brass lamp stand, a silver vessel and flower offerings lie before them, with scattered petals on the stone. A person in an orange garment bends over at the lower right corner. The scene reads as a temple shrine, with the page excerpt describing the 25th Nithyananda Purnima celebration, though no Swamiji candidate is visibly present.
