A photograph of a shaven-headed man with a red bindi, wearing clear-framed glasses, seated cross-legged in meditation on a lime-green mat. He wears an orange t-shirt printed with a red portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" and orange loose trousers, with a long necklace of large gold-toned beads and a gold pendant. His hands rest in a lap mudra and gold bangles show on his wrist. Behind him stands a painted backdrop of a blue-clad figure and a dark navy curtain. A person in orange with a gold bead mala, seated in meditation, fits the appearance cues in this setting, but his face cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
