A bare-chested man sits before a dark green backdrop beside a tall polished silver ceremonial staff with a finial on a stone base, his right hand raised toward it. He has long dark hair swept back, white sacred ash bands across his forehead, chest and arms, a red tilak mark on his brow, rudraksha bracelets on both upper arms and wrist, and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces. A silver-and-gold ornate chair back is visible behind him. Printed caption text reads Nithyananda Paramashivam, copyright and source credit.

He wears a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant, rudraksha bead bracelets on both wrists and upper arm, and gold hoop earrings. His bare upper body has white and grey ash stripes painted on the shoulders and arms, with a white horizontal tilak on the forehead and a dark red bindi at its centre. Swamiji (probable): the swept-back long hair, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and the silver throne setting are cues for a presentation consistent with the Nithyananda Paramashivam archive, but the appearance is not decisive.2020-03-01 +2 copiesA bare-chested man with swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti lines on his forehead and body, and a red bindi-style mark stands before an ornate silver throne decorated with a lion motif on a dark green backdrop.
