A seated figure sits cross-legged on a raised orange cushioned platform before a gilded throne with a cobra-hood backrest. The person wears an orange-brown robe, a black cap, and a white flower garland, with a trident leaning beside the throne. Hanging brass bells and a red velvet drape form the backdrop. Brass oil lamps stand on the stage edge, and a brass railing and striped floor mat complete the hall. The seated figure has long hair and a small beard; appearance is ambiguous, so identity is unsure. Text credit reads 2020 Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, source
