Photograph of a stage event with a large white circular backdrop and a hanging banner reading Paramahamsa Nithyananda in red lettering above a saffron-robed figure. A man in an orange robe with a yellow marigold garland stands at the centre of the white platform, while around him devotees in white and yellow shawls bow, lean in and offer flowers and gestures. Vases of colourful flowers stand at the platform edges and a woman in white with a necklace stands behind. The seated central figure's appearance is consistent with an appearance-based a person candidate, wearing orange garments and a garland, though the face is not visible enough to confirm identity.
