A seated figure in white ceremonial clothing with gold-bordered dhoti-style garments and a white shawl sits on a white-draped couch on a stage, hands resting together in lap, with a red-and-gold patterned rug in front. A portrait banner behind reads Shiva Sutras with the Nithyananda logo, flanked by gold-fringed drapes. Vases of red, orange, yellow and pink flowers, a music stand, and a peacock-blue cushion decorate the stage. The figure has long dark hair and a beaded necklace, matching the Swamiji (probable) presentation of long hair, ornate clothing and gold border cues, serving as the seated speaker at the Shiva Sutras discourse.
