A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair and a crossed orange shawl, sitting on an orange cloth on a stage. He holds a large silver tray of green leaves and tears one leaf with his hands. Behind him to the left is an orange-upholstered sofa and a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure labelled Paramahamsa Nithyananda. To the right, a shaven-headed man in white with a gold-coloured necklace and two women in white saris sit on the floor by a standing microphone. A water bottle and a steel cup sit on the stage, and a purple and blue patterned mat is at the front. The man in orange has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha-style necklace, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate.
