Close photo of a man with shoulder-length dark hair, a white tilak across his forehead and a red dot at the centre, wearing an orange shawl and a garland of white, yellow and pink flowers. His right hand is raised in a gesture beside a gold-embossed ornate backdrop decorated with red, yellow and purple flowers. In the blurred left foreground a person in a white shirt with a small orange badge is partially visible. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange clothing and flower garland match the page's description of the Nithyananda Satsang event, though the identification rests on appearance alone.
