A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold-and-cream upholstered sofa with an orange cushion, a white shawl draped over one shoulder, wearing a cream embroidered kurta with gold trim. Behind him is a large portrait-style banner showing a smiling man in a white turban and dark embroidered jacket, labelled "Nithyananda". A brass oil lamp stands beside him among red roses, palm fronds and white flowers, with a small carved wooden deity figure at left. The seated man matches the appearance cues of the a person candidate: long swept hair, ornate clothing and the page's claim of his presence, though the identification is not certain.
