A man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with red cushions in front of a black draped backdrop. He wears an orange saffron robe, a long strand of wooden prayer beads around his neck, and has a red bindi on his forehead. A large banner behind him shows a portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban captioned Paramahamsa Nithyananda, alongside Tamil and English text for a meditation program. A microphone stand stands to the right, and gold-carved pedestals flank the throne. The seated man is an appearance-based Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ceremonial neck beads.
