A seated man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. He wears an orange saffron wrap, a red-and-orange shawl draped over his shoulders, and a beaded rudraksha-style mala with a gold necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead. Pink and white flowers decorate the throne and a blue framed doorway behind him, and a tiered brass oil lamp burns on the right with several flames lit. White pillars frame the hall and a small offering tray with white flowers rests at the bottom. Probable Swamiji (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) is seated in satsang-style posture, the appearance cues matching his long hair, saffron clothing, and mala.
