Staged ceremony on a red stage before a gold-carved throne with a red-and-gold backdrop. A seated man in a deep red-orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits on the throne, smiling. Standing to his left, a man in white dhoti with gold border and red shawl holds a red flag; to the right, a man in red robe holds a red flag printed with a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" wearing a saffron turban, and another man in orange-red holds a silver kalasha pot. Gold-carved statues of attendants flank the scene, with brass oil lamps and pink flower petals on the floor. Appears to be a pushpabhishekam or pada puja ceremony.
