A photograph of a small shrine niche tiled in cream and patterned tiles. A framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" shows a figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala seated before a tree, his hand raised, draped in a garland of white flowers and red roses. Two devotees kneel at the shrine: a shaved-headed man in an orange-and-gold shawl wearing a rudraksha mala, and a woman in a red-and-gold sari with a red flower garland and gold bangles, both reaching toward offerings. A brass oil lamp stands at left, and pink petals and flower offerings sit on a purple cloth-draped platform. The portrait is a printed image, not a physical person, and the kneeling devotees are the only people visible.
