A seated man in an orange saffron garment and a long rudraksha mala with a red tilak on his forehead sits on a maroon quilted seat, smiling and holding a cord attached to a cloth bundle. Standing around him are men in white and orange-shawled attendants, some holding wooden poles, and at left a man in white leans in to help with the cloth. A decorated orange-and-gold cloth lies on his lap. The scene appears to be an outdoor evening procession or ceremony. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, matching the page's claim that Nithyananda Paramashivam attended this event.
