A photograph of a golden ornate throne with a framed portrait of a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban and orange wrap, with a red dot on his forehead, set at the centre of the throne. The framed portrait is labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" at its base. Gold tiger-head armrests flank the throne above red zebra-patterned cushions. In the foreground, a hand holds up a lit oil lamp, blurred by motion, and a second person's hand holds a small flame at lower right. Orange marigold garlands decorate the top of the backdrop, which is red with a golden clock-tower and cityscape illustration and decorative lettering.
