A photograph of a man seated on an ornately carved dark wooden throne-style chair, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears long swept-back dark hair, a red-orange saffron-toned robe draped over one shoulder, and a heavy double strand of large brown rudraksha beads, with a gold pendant and a green bead mala at his chest. A rust-orange towel rests over the armrest and a white cup sits on a small carved side table at left. Behind him a dark carved decorative panel hangs on a cream drape. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial pendant fit the appearance of the Nithyananda Paramashivam candidate, seated and addressing an audience.
