Profile photograph of a man seated in a golden-hued setting, smiling and reaching toward an ornate silver staff topped with a round disc. He wears a rust-red wrap over bare shoulders, a long rudraksha mala with gold-capped beads, and has his hair tied back in a bun with a red thread, with a yellow-orange tilak on his forehead. In the foreground a polished gold object with a curled ornamental form is visible, and a dark twisted wooden rod stands beside him. Swamiji (probable): the rudraksha mala, bare shoulders in a rust-red wrap, and swept-back hair with ceremonial adornments match the presentation of the Nithyananda Paramashivam, seated in person.
