A dark bronze-coloured statue of a standing man in a long coat and dhoti stands on a green and white marble pedestal in a multi-level atrium. It wears a multicoloured garland of orange beads, white flowers and red blooms, with a large gold medallion at the chest. Hands are folded in front. Behind it, curved white railings and wooden handrails frame several levels where people in white and cream clothing, some with orange shawls, walk and stand. A small banner partially reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham. The statue is a depiction, and no portrait identification is made from appearance.
