A man seated on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a red cushioned seat, eyes lowered in meditation. He has long dark hair, white vibhuti and a red kumkum bindi on his forehead, and wears an orange saffron shawl over his shoulders with a long ceremonial gold bead necklace. Behind him a painted backdrop shows deity figures in red and pink tones. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and throne together match the presentation of the Nithyananda Paramashivam, though this is an appearance-based label only.
