A man with long swept-back dark hair and a full beard stands on a stage in front of a large black statue of a multi-armed deity with a hooded serpent canopy overhead, draped in red and garlanded with white and gold necklaces. He wears an orange-red sleeveless top and a matching orange-red wrap with gold border, a red-brown tilak on his forehead, and a red bracelet on his wrist. Golden trishula standards flank the stage, and the backdrop is a bright blue and white projected image with stage lights overhead. Swamiji (probable): the standing man has long swept-back hair, a beard, an orange-red wrap and a forehead mark, consistent with the page's reference to Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
