A close photograph of a man with long dark hair, eyes closed and head slightly bowed, pressing his palms together in anjali mudra before his chest. He wears a white vertical tilak on his forehead, a long garland of pink and white flowers, gold bangles and a gold armlet, and a bare shoulder draped over a tiger-striped orange cloth. Behind him is an ornate silver throne or seat encrusted with red, green and blue gemstones and filigree. The setting suggests a devotional gathering. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style ornaments and ceremonial gold jewellery mark a presentation consistent with Nithyananda, seated in a jewelled throne during a satsang.
