A man with long dark wavy hair and an orange saffron robe pours or offers liquid from a metal spoon toward a glazed statue of a seated saint inside a wooden glass-fronted shrine. The statue wears an orange robe, a red turban, a rudraksha-style mala and white flower garlands, with a raised blessing hand. A brass oil lamp burns beside it, green leaves hang across the top, and an incense holder sits on the marble ledge. A black stone inscription in Tamil is set below the shrine, and a white wall behind shows a green banner reading PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANA.
