A seated figure in a saffron-orange turban and draped orange and gold garment, with a red floral garland and beaded bracelets, places one hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white collared shirt with palms pressed together. Behind them a standing attendant in white with a rudraksha mala and orange shawl watches. Gold ornate throne panels and a red patterned carpet frame the scene, with a golden carved pillar at right and purple stage lighting. Captioned in the page as a Nithyananda Times daily feature, the seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji by a turban, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, though this is uncertain. The kneeling man receives a blessing.

Behind them, a man in white kurta stands with hands clasped, and a partially visible figure in orange stands near a gold pillar.
