A puja arrangement on a silver-patterned cloth. Centre: a framed printed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a smiling figure in orange robes and a seated pose, set against a pink cushion-like backdrop and framed by green leaves, orange flowers and white lilies. In front, a small brass dish holds white flowers, a silver bowl holds pink petals, and a brass plate with a raised relief design sits to the right. A small card reading "Be Blissful" with a smiling orange-robed figure lies on the left beside incense sticks. A hand in an orange sleeve is visible at the lower left, and a brass vessel with a ladle sits near the bottom. No people are fully visible in the scene beyond the hand.
