Photograph of a home shrine draped with a bright yellow cloth on a table. Central focus is a pair of folded rust-orange cloths, the padukas or sandal-like seat, with a small gold brooch and a lit oil lamp in a brass dish surrounded by white and pink flowers. A framed colour portrait behind shows a smiling man with long dark hair, orange robe and white garland, raising one hand, in front of a tree-root backdrop; the label reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda in the caption. Beside it stands a black-and-white framed photo, a red-and-white flower garland hangs on the frames, and a painting of Shiva with a trident and a cow sits at right. Small figurines of an elephant, a purple stone animal and artificial white flowers fill the shelf. No physical people are present.
