A photograph of a bearded man seated before an ornate silver throne with embossed floral and scroll patterns. Two silver lion-head armrests flank him on either side. He wears a white vertical tilak on the forehead with a red dot at its centre, a gold stud earring, and a layered garland of pink and white flowers over multiple dark rudraksha malas. His clothing is a red-orange cloth wrap. He looks off to the left with a faint smile. A leopard-print cloth lies over the throne at the right edge, and a yellow marigold garland hangs at the far left beside a metal lion. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-red clothing, and rudraksha malas match the Nithyananda Paramashivam candidate seated on the throne.
