A devotional display on a table in front of a large framed photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes with long dark hair, multiple rudraksha beads and a ceremonial gold necklace, raising one hand in blessing; the frame shows a banyan-type tree backdrop and partial text. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in the framed photograph has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ornate adornments, appearing as a depiction on a printed portrait. In the foreground stands a female deity murti in a yellow gown with gold border and a jeweled crown, beside a golden brass statue of a seated figure draped in an orange cloth with a decorative white beaded garland.

Beside him are two richly decorated deity murti seated on a raised dais: the figure at centre wears a gold crown, gold ornaments and a white garland, and the figure at right wears a crown, a blue and gold embroidered sari and bangles. Saffron-orange fabric drapes the background and the altar area is lit by a warm glow, with rose petals scattered at the base. The man is the only physical person visible; he is shown with distinctive long hair and saffron robe cues, so the appearance-based label applies.December 08 20112011-12-08A four-panel graphic collage of archive photographs. The top-left panel shows a man with long dark hair wearing an orange-saffron shawl and a white and beaded mala necklace, one hand raised in blessing, standing beside a tree trunk; the presence of Swamiji is a probable match from appearance cues (long swept hair, saffron wrap, ceremonial beads). The top-right panel shows a gold deity murti decorated with white flower garlands and red petals on a leopard-print cloth beneath an orange canopy, with a brass vessel nearby. The bottom-left panel shows a red-and-gold deity figure inside a clear plastic cover decorated with white flowers and pearl strands. The bottom-right panel shows a close view of the same plastic-wrapped display with flowers and a gold-edged frame.A shrine table draped in white holds a large framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" at centre. The portrait shows a smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi, an orange robe and layered white flower-bead necklaces, seated in front of banyan roots with one hand raised in blessing. Flanking framed images show a figure in white with a halo and a goddess in pink and gold seated with a lotus. Brass oil lamps, a brass kalasha-style lamp and a small brass plate sit on the table, and white flower garlands are draped on the frames.
