A framed portrait on a draped white altar is garlanded with white jasmine, marigold and red flower strings and green leaves. The portrait shows a smiling figure in orange robes seated before a large banyan tree with a raised hand, and a label reads "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" on the portrait. Beside it stand a small golden kalasha-style vessel and a golden deity murti in an arched frame. In the foreground a man in a bare-chested orange-clad sannyasi with a saffron head wrap, seen from behind, holds a steel cup. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti leans in to touch the garlanded frame, and a woman in an orange top bends over at the left, with a rudraksha mala visible around his neck.
