A large blue banner on its façade shows Shiva with matted hair and a crescent, beside figures in a boat and a seated sage, captioned in Hindi as Shri Panchayati Shri Anand Akhada Mahanirvani. Below, a smaller blue banner shows a turbaned figure in red robes with a child, labelled as a welcome and honour banner. A red flag flutters at right and a sign reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda on a stall. No people are clearly visible in front of the structure beyond small partial figures at the lower edge.
