With "or" the verb agrees with the nearest of the subjects, but in this case it still needs to be "is", because the second phrase is "one of her sisters" and that is singular.

Is this sentence correct -either nisha or her sisters is at fault?

The sentence "either nisha or her sisters is at fault" is not correct because of lack of subject-verb agreement in number and lack of proper capitalization of the first letter of the proper name. When two elements of the subject of a sentence are linked by an alternative coordinating conjunction ("or" or "nor"), the proper number of the verb is determined by whichever of the linked elements is closer to the verb in the sentence. In the given sentence, the plural element "sisters" is closer to the verb, so that the sentence should read, "Either Nisha or her sisters are at fault." Note for contrast, "Either Nisha's sisters or Nisha herself is at fault."
