A multi-panel graphic collage on a yellow background with a headline reading 'Somber abhishekam and alamkaram offered to HDH Bhagwan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, Nithyanandashora, and Nithyanandashori'. A large illustrated figure in a red turban and gold ornaments sits cross-legged on an ornate throne at upper left. Small photographs show brass lamps, flowers and a seated figure in red and gold clothes performing puja at a low table. Lower left, decorated deity murtis are adorned with gold jewellery, pearls and red garments. Lower right, a woman in a white sari with red blouse sits with palms joined beside a framed portrait of a man in a red turban and rudraksha garlands, with a lit oil lamp and a golden throne nearby. The panels are visible photographs of the ritual, but the collage itself is a graphic.
