A framed photograph of a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat against a dark background, with a tiger skin draped at its base. A printed caption at the bottom of the frame reads PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA. Flanking the shrine are painted deity statues with multiple arms, gold jewellery and crowns, one holding a trident, and small oil lamps hang above. Swamiji (probable): the framed portrait shows a man with a saffron turban, orange robe and a bright smile on a golden throne. No living people are present in the scene.
