Nithyanandapedia
A home shrine on a yellow draped table. Central framed photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing orange robes and a cream-and-gold bead necklace, raising one hand in a blessing gesture, seated before a tree with exposed aerial roots; this is a portrait, not a physical person, and the framed label reads Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues of long hair, orange robes and beaded necklace. In front stands a folded rust-red cloth bundle with a small gold brooch, flanked by crystal vases and a brass oil lamp with white flowers. A silver-framed black-and-white photograph of a bearded sannyasi with a red garland sits to the left, beside a purple stone bull figurine. To the right, a large framed painting of Shiva with trident, white bull Nandi and blue skin, adorned with a red flower and rudraksha garland. A white artificial flower arrangement and a carved elephant figurine complete the altar.

Flanking it are a red-and-yellow garland, a small framed black-and-white photo, a purple crystal bull figure, glass candle holders, white flowers and a lit oil lamp in a brass dish.

Beside it is a silver-framed black-and-white photograph garlanded with red and gold beads, a folded terracotta-coloured shawl with a jewelled brooch, a brass oil lamp ringed with white jasmine flowers, glass vases with white beads, a purple stone animal figure, artificial white-flowered plants, and a painted image of Shiva with a trident and white bull at right.
