A smiling man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow and purple marigold garlands and green leaves, with red cushions at his sides. He wears a brown turban, a red-and-gold bordered maroon robe, and a heavy gold bead necklace, with a red bindi and vibhuti on his forehead, hands clasped in his lap. Probable Swamiji: the flowers, throne, long hair under the turban, saffron-red robe and ornate gold necklace match the appearance of the Nithyananda Paramashivam candidate, seated as a guru receiving honour at the event.
