A bearded man in a rust-brown robe sits on an ornate silver and red velvet throne on a stage, smiling and holding an open book with a pink-and-gold cover. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala, a heavy gold necklace and gold armbands. A microphone stands at his side, and a pedestal fan, potted plants, brass oil lamps and a gold-draped table surround the stage. Behind him are gold carved panels, a carved lion figure and a painted banner. A painted deity figure appears at upper left, and a printed portrait of a woman appears at right. Partly visible text on the banner and photo credit reads 'Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam'.
