A photograph at Sri Nithyananda Temple showing a large white-and-red decorated deity murti of Durga on a blue-and-white pedestal, with a lion mount and smaller figures of Ganesha and other deities garlanded in yellow marigolds. A man in a green silk dhoti with a red border stands bent forward with hands folded in front of the image, apparently in worship. Brass oil lamps stand on the steps at either side, and an orange-draped figure and a dark statue of a standing deity appear at the edges, with potted plants along the steps.
