A smiling man rides in an ornate ceremonial chariot or palanquin decorated with layered marigold and mixed flower garlands in orange, yellow, magenta and white. He wears a gold crown with a central finial, a deep orange saffron garment, a long gold necklace, multiple rudraksha-style red beaded malas, and a red bindi on his forehead. Above him hang silver bells and tassels in blue, green, purple and red from a silver-and-gold canopy pole. A silver ceremonial sword or staff rests beside him. The setting is outdoors with trees and sky behind. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the chariot with saffron clothing, crown and rudraksha malas, and the caption identifies the photo as Nithyananda Paramashivam.
