A woman in a white sari with a red shawl kneels at a gilded throne (peetha) with a red velvet seat flanked by two golden lion figures. A large framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" shows a smiling man in orange turban and orange robes with a red bindi, and a silver trident stands to the right of the frame against a blue, green and gold draped backdrop. On the throne ledge sit a silver tray with flowers and a small oil lamp, and a silver vessel. The woman's hands are at the base of the throne, making offerings or puja. The portrait is a printed image, not a physical person, so the count is one physical person.

A woman in white ritual clothes kneels barefoot on a red carpet before an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and golden lion figures. A framed printed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" sits on the throne, showing a smiling man in orange turban and orange robes. A tall trident stands behind the throne against a blue, green and orange fan-shaped backdrop. Brass trays with flowers, a lit incense stick and offering bowls lie in front.
