Nithyanandapedia
Interior of a hall set up as a shrine. On a low green-draped platform sits a gold-adorned deity murti in front of pink lotus petals, flanked by two white elephant figures spraying water upward and garlanded with yellow and pink flowers. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and fruit and flowers are arranged on the floor in front. Behind the altar a banner reads the institution name and a website address, with a temple tower in the background. To the right, a framed portrait of a figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, seated in meditation with raised hand, is garlanded in yellow flowers. A cream armchair sits beside it. No people are visible.
