A photograph of a discourse stage with a central speaker seated on a white-draped chair behind a white-covered table with a small book on it. The speaker wears an orange saffron garment with gold trim, a gold necklace, and has long dark hair; one hand is raised mid-gesture as he speaks into a microphone on a black stand. A large banner behind shows a black-and-white portrait of a sage in a white turban beside red script reading Ashtavakra Gita and the caption Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda. Flowers in orange and yellow frame the stage edges and a red cloth covers the front of the platform. The speaker is seated on the stage; whether the person is a person cannot be determined from appearance, so the identity is left unsure.
