Three brass kalasha pots wrapped in mesh netting, topped with green mango leaves and orange-yellow flowers, stand in a row at the left. A brass plate heaped with pink and white rose petals and marigold-like petals sits in the centre, with a second petal-filled plate behind it and a tray of clay lamps. A brass lamp and a small bell stand on a dish near the back, and a wooden side table with a white dish sits at the right. A gold-and-red cloth banner with the words Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam is visible near the top, below a gold throne-like seat. No people are visible.
