A photograph of a stage programme at the Nithyananda Spurana Program in Salem. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, sits on a white round throne-like seat holding papers and a microphone; this appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, and he is seated on the stage as the presenter. A man in white shirt stands beside him, and a second person in white assists near the stage. In the foreground, around twenty women and girls with long braided hair sit with white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes. Behind the stage, a banner reads in Tamil and English, a floral arrangement decorates the top, and a large colourful concentric circle chart hangs on the right. Pink and blue drapes frame the stage.
