A photograph of a discourse stage with a seated speaker in an orange-and-saffron garment and a gold necklace, a red mark on the forehead, and long dark hair, holding a small book at a microphone stand. A white draped seat and white table sit behind a red-skirted dais edged with yellow, orange and white flowers and wheat-like sprays. Behind him a large banner shows a portrait of a man in white headwear, labelled "Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda" with the subtitle "Brings forth the stunning Euphorisms as told to king Janaka" and the title "Ashtavakra Gita". The speaker appears to be a probable Swamiji on the platform, based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and rudraksha-style ornamentation.
