Photograph of a gilded shrine arch framing a golden murti of a deity couple, the male figure in an orange turban and blue dhoti holding a trident and damaru, the female in orange with heavy jewelled necklaces, seated before a red curtain with brass lamps and garlands of red, yellow and green flowers. In front of the murti stands a framed photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, red bindi and orange saffron robes with a white flower garland, seated in lotus pose before a banyan tree; the framed print bears the caption "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" and is garlanded with flowers. The photograph is in the swami's presence only as a printed portrait, with no physically present devotees.
