A home shrine photographed as a photo of a devotional altar. A framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a smiling man with long dark hair, orange robes, a white flower-and-bead garland and a raised hand, seated before a tree with aerial roots. Beside it stands a framed image of Shiva with a trident, a white bull and a child deity. On the glass-topped altar are small figurines of seated figures on thrones, a brass oil lamp with a lit wick, a glass of water, brass bells, white and yellow flowers, sweets on a white dish, and a folded rust-red turban with a jewelled brooch resting on the altar. The room behind shows a colourful embroidered bag.
