A photograph inside an ashram hall where a seated figure in an orange-saffron garment and white shawl, with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a smiling expression, sits before a large golden throne-like backdrop framed by an elaborate arrangement of yellow, red, purple and white marigold and garland flowers with green leaves. Several people crowd around in the foreground: a man in a blue-and-white checked shirt at left, a man in white with a red-and-white tilak at centre-right, a bald older man in white, a young child, and a man in a light cream shirt at right. Fluorescent ceiling lights and a dark painted backdrop with foliage are visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, saffron clothing, a white shawl and beaded necklaces, matching the page's claim of Paramahamsa Nithyananda's ashram event.
