A photograph of a television screen showing a NithyanandaTV live broadcast. The main picture on the left shows a man seated on a gold throne with carved lions and flower garlands, wearing a red turban, a red dhoti, gold armbands, layered pearl and bead necklaces and rudraksha malas, with his hands raised in greeting. A smaller inset on the right shows a woman with white hair and a red bindi in a white sari, palms joined in namaste, in front of a temple shrine decorated with pink cloth, flowers and a signboard reading KAILASA ROTORUA NEW ZEALAND. A lower-third caption reads KAILASA's Temples Worldwide. The appearance cues of the throne figure (red turban, rudraksha malas, ornate gold jewellery, throne setting) are consistent with the probable identity, so the depiction is labelled as Swamiji (probable) on a screen.
