A smiling figure in a rust-red turban and matching rust-red and gold draped garment sits on an ornate red-cushioned golden throne with a carved golden backrest. A thick gold multi-strand necklace with rudraksha-style beads hangs on the chest, and a red-and-gold armlet is worn on the upper arm. A small red bindi marks the forehead and gold-tone earrings are visible. Swamiji (probable) is the Nithyananda Paramashivam figure; the appearance cues are the ornate gold ceremonial necklace, rudraksha malas, red turban and saffron-toned draped clothing, seated on a golden peetha throne. Gold ornamental carvings and a red tiger-striped cushion surround him.
