A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange head wrap sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a white-draped throne-like seat on a stage. A wooden ladder in the foreground leads up to the stage. Behind is a large banner with a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" showing a smiling man with long dark hair, a golden ceremonial necklace and a white garment, adorned with flower garlands. A small vase of flowers and a water glass sit on a white-covered side table. The banner reads Nithyananda Spurana Program with Tamil text above and the letters BP level 2 visible below. Appearance cues of the seated figure (orange robe, orange head wrap) are consistent with a candidate, but the face is not clearly visible.
