Photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing a red bindi on his forehead, an orange garment, a red-and-white flower garland, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a gold bangle. He raises one hand near his face in greeting, seated in front of an ornate gold throne-like backrest decorated with red and white flower garlands and a gold pillar. A person in light clothing is partly visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe, rudraksha beads and ceremonial gold ornaments match the cues for the Nithyananda Paramashivam candidate, seated on the golden peetha.
