A glossy orange-painted statue of a seated sannyasi figure in a saffron turban with a red bindi, wearing a saffron shawl and a long rudraksha mala. The raised right hand shows a blessing gesture, and the left hand rests on the lap beside flowers. Behind, a framed devotional painting shows three deity murtis in red and gold attire, with a kalasha-like offering below. A small framed black-and-white photograph sits at the lower left. The figure is a statue, not a person, and the figure's identity is not established by appearance alone.

Behind him is an ornately carved wooden headboard and cabinets, with a glass partition and a white towel visible. A printed caption reads Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam and along the right edge. The appearance, saffron robes, turban, long hair and rudraksha mala suggest a probable Swamiji (probable) in a seated teaching posture, though the image is a single seated figure with no other people visible2009-08-08A photograph taken through glass of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange turban and a dark rudraksha mala draped over the chest, one hand raised in blessing and legs folded in a meditation pose on a white-cushioned seat with a carved wooden backrest.
