A figure in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange turban stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before a decorated deity murti. The murti wears a gold crown, layered garlands of white jasmine flowers and orange and red blooms, and a gold-bordered red shawl. A gold-handled staff rests against it. To the left is a framed painting of a white horse. Golden lamps and pink flowers sit at the right edge, with a grey draped fabric backdrop behind. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long dark hair falling below the turban, saffron clothing and gold neck ornaments, matching the page's description of Paramahamsa Nithyananda at this event.
