A seated man in a saffron-orange robe sits on a gilded throne with lion-shaped armrests and a brown cushioned back, a silver trident-topped staff standing at the left edge of the frame. He wears rudraksha beads and a gold pendant, with a dark swept-back hairstyle, and rests his hand against his face. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace mark him as the probable Nithyananda Paramashivam. In front of him a large seated audience fills a hall, many women in saris and men in white and orange shawls. A small wooden side table with an orange cloth and a water bottle sits to the right. Ceiling-mounted decorative panels line the back wall.
