A home altar draped in a yellow cloth holds a framed colour portrait of a smiling man with a short haircut, a red forehead mark, orange robes and a white flower garland, raising one hand in blessing in front of a banyan root backdrop. Beside it is a silver-framed black-and-white photograph garlanded with red and gold beads, a folded terracotta-coloured shawl with a jewelled brooch, a brass oil lamp ringed with white jasmine flowers, glass vases with white beads, a purple stone animal figure, artificial white-flowered plants, and a painted image of Shiva with a trident and white bull at right. A portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" is not visible; no caption is printed. The portrait shows a figure in orange clothing, but appearance cues are only partially distinctive, so this is marked unsure.
