A standing man in an orange saffron wrap with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi waves his right hand on a raised white platform. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a garland of white jasmine and orange flowers with green leaves. Behind him a colourful umbrella with a peacock motif is inscribed Nithyanapeetam, and a pink flower-petal carpet covers the ground. Seated devotees in white and orange clothing, many with hands joined in namaste, fill the hillside, with temple gopurams and a hill visible in the background.
