Close-up photo of a smiling man in a pale gold turban with a red bindi, wearing an ornate gold-embroidered sherwani with a red collar placket and a red-and-silver bordered red shawl over one shoulder. He wears a gold chain with a round pendant and a gold bangle, and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him is pale draped fabric with gold garland decorations. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a turban and ornate saffron-gold clothing with a gold necklace match the appearance cues for Nithyananda Paramashivam, though the identification is based on appearance only.
