A seated man in an orange turban and orange shawl sits in a carved wooden chair before a microphone and a small table, smiling as he speaks. He has long dark hair and a red dot on his forehead, and wears a red undershirt with the orange drape. Behind him are white gerbera flowers and palm fronds. A DD News microphone flag and a placard reading பரமஹம்ச நித்யானந்தர் (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) stand on the table, the placard being a printed name attribution on the sign itself. Cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference are the long hair, orange turban and saffron clothing, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.
