A man with long dreadlocked hair and a white and red tripundra on his forehead sits on an ornate silver throne decorated with repoussé floral and figural carvings. He wears a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders and a long rudraksha mala, and holds a handheld microphone while resting his other hand on his chin. Beside him stands a silver lion sculpture, a silver tray with betel leaves and small brass vessels sits at his feet on a green banana leaf, and a black tablet stand is in front of him. Pale green and orange painted pillars form the backdrop. The man has the ceremonial presentation of a sannyasi on a throne; the page identifies this event as the Nithyananda Peetham Bengaluru Aadheenam, but the figure's appearance is only partly distinctive.
