A large outdoor banner with a yellow and orange background, mounted on a wall at night beside a tree and palm fronds. The banner shows a printed photograph of a man in an orange-red shawl and orange garment seated on a white throne, wearing a long flower garland and a red and gold turban, with several men in white shirts and dhotis around him, some bending to touch his feet or garland him. Ornate gold border columns frame the image. Printed Kannada and English text announces an honouring ceremony held on 15-08-2010 by K. Gollahalli Gramapanchayat, Bangalore South. Because a printed caption names the honoured figure, the banner is attributed to a portrait labelled Parama Poojya Sri Sri Sri Nithyananda Maha Swamiji's. Circular logo in the top-left corner.
