A man in orange sannyasi-style robes sits in an ornately carved dark wooden chair with a cream upholstered back. He wears a rudraksha mala with a small microphone clipped near it, and a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead. A black drum shell with a wooden hoop is in the foreground at left, and a tabla-like drum edge appears at the lower left. A checkered wall is behind him. A photo caption at the upper right reads Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, as printed on the image. Appearance cues are limited (orange robes, rudraksha mala, tilak), so identity is uncertain.
