A large printed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" stands on an ornate gold throne with a maroon velvet cushion and a leopard-print cloth draped on the seat. The portrait shows a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a saffron shawl, and long dark hair. Beside the throne stands a silver trident, a tall bare tree trunk with hanging roots forms the backdrop, and yellow and white flower arrangements and green plants sit at the sides. A partial view of a person's head appears at the lower right. The printed portrait is an image of a person, not a physical person present, and the throne is empty.
