A framed photograph of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange garment with a red bindi sits on an ornate golden throne, placed in a decorated arched shrine. The framed portrait is labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" on its lower border. The throne is draped with a tiger-skin cloth, and it is flanked by a golden lion-shaped armrest and small oil lamps. Multicoloured tassels in red, orange, yellow, pink and purple hang from the arch, and a dark backdrop with a brass bell and a gold canopy frames the seat. At the bottom edge, a few seated devotees' hands and shoulders are partly visible near lit lamps, and painted deity figures stand on the pillars at both sides.
