A photograph of a stage at a Dasara celebration. A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, one hand raised in a teaching gesture, a microphone stand beside him. To the left, a gilded deity murti stands on a golden pedestal draped with yellow, purple and pink garlands. Behind them a large orange banner shows a smiling portrait labelled Paramahamsa Nithyananda, with the Dasara heading and a red-and-gold floral backdrop. A small figure is visible at the bottom edge of the frame. The seated man's appearance matches the presentation cues described for the page's subject, with saffron robes, a mala and a throne, so he is recorded as a person in person.
