A man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate red velvet throne with gold lion-head armrests and a gilded canopy behind him. He wears a white and red tilak on his forehead, layered gold and beaded necklaces, gold armlets, and a rudraksha-style mala. He smiles while his feet rest over a brass tray of fruit and flowers, with brass lamps standing on either side. A painted backdrop of arched domes and a mosque-like building decorates the stage. The visible cues include the saffron robes, long hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and the throne setting, so this is a probable Swamiji (Nithyananda Paramashivam) seated in a satsang or darshan setting.
