Photograph of a seated man in a red garment with a white and red-green flower garland, arms raised high with palms open, a red and gold cloth draped over his shoulder, and a vertical tilak on his forehead. Facing him, a younger man in a white kurta with a dark cord around his neck kneels and raises his palms toward him in a gesture of reverence. Maroon curtains form the backdrop, with a partly visible seated listener at lower right and a white cooling unit at right. The scene resembles a satsang gathering. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, ornate red-and-gold clothing and a flower garland, and the page links this event to Paramahamsa Nithyananda, so the candidate is described as the seated figure receiving the devotee's gesture.
