A framed photograph on a white-draped table in front of a blackboard with Tamil writing. The main framed portrait, garlanded with white and green flowers, shows a smiling man with long hair in a white dhoti and gold necklace seated on an ornate silver throne with a red cushion and a yellow backdrop; a caption reads Ohm Hreem Nithyanandaya Nama. The portrait is a depiction, not a person physically present. Beside it stands a smaller gold-framed photograph of an elderly bald man in white with a red bindi. A brass oil lamp burns to the left, and pink and red flower petals are scattered across the cloth. No people are physically visible.
