A monk in saffron-orange robes stands with palms pressed together in namaskar at the left edge of a temple hall, facing a shrine. Inside the shrine, a deity murti with a crown and garlands is framed by an ornate gold arch. In front, a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure with a beaded necklace sits on a red cushioned chair, garlanded with flowers. A brass lamp with a flame burns on a red-draped stand before it, and orange curtains hang at the side of the pillared hall. A caption on the photo reads Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, watermarked. The framed portrait is a depiction, not a physical person.
