A man in orange and a man in white stand at left, while a man in white bends toward the throne, and a person in a wheelchair in a grey top sits in front. Several women in white saris with gold borders and a woman in a blue shawl stand at right. A printed banner portrait shows a smiling bearded figure in an orange turban, captioned "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" and "Nithyananda Spurana Program".
