A shaved-headed man in a rust-brown robe with a rudraksha mala, seen from behind, sits before a golden throne with red tiger-striped cushions and gold lion-head armrests. Above the throne hangs a framed printed portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange shawl, bearing a red bindi; its caption reads "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA". A tiered silver oil lamp with many lit wicks stands before the throne, and a woman's arm extends from the right holding a lamp. A silver trident stands at the right side. Pink draped fabric and hanging bells frame the scene.
