A photograph of a seated stage event under a large banner reading "பரமஹம்ஸ நித்யானந்த" and "தியான சத்சங்" with a date line below. Three people sit on ornate gold-and-red thrones draped with marigold garlands. The central figure wears a saffron-orange turban and saffron robes, a long braid over one shoulder, holds an open book and a microphone, and appears to be speaking. Swamiji (probable) cues here are the saffron turban, saffron robes and central throne placement; the identity is appearance-based only. To his left a woman in a green saree sits with a red shawl. To his right a man in a white shirt and glasses sits with a water bottle before him. A standing man in a grey shirt holds a microphone at the right edge. The setting is a daytime indoor stage with marigold garlands along the platform front.
