A man in orange saffron robes kneels on a patterned mat before a cane settee draped in orange cloth and red cushions, performing a puja. A framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" sits on the settee, garlanded with orange and red flowers and white jasmine strands. In the foreground, brass lamps, a kalasha-style pot, a plate of flowers, fruits and offerings, and a tray with a small bell sit on a stone slab. Behind, a dark deity murti with a purple cloth stands beside colourful patterned pillars and a white ornate temple wall. The kneeling man wears a rudraksha mala and a gold bracelet, and is shown in a devotional ritual setting.
