A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead sits before a red patterned backdrop with a red tiger-stripe fabric behind him. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and rudraksha malas with silver beads across his chest, along with a gold pendant necklace and a small clip-on microphone near his mouth. The wall behind him bears large yellow Tamil-script lettering. His gaze is turned to the side. Given the saffron clothing, long hair, rudraksha malas and gold pendant, this is a probable Swamiji (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) speaking at a satsang, though the identification is based on appearance cues only.
