A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) carved with lion figures and a gilded arched backdrop against a deep blue background. He wears a rust-orange turban with a white feather and a red-and-white bead ornament, a white tilak with a red bindi, a bare chest, a layered gold collar, multiple rudraksha malas and gold chains, and orange-brown cloth around the waist, with gold and beaded bracelets on his arms. His hands rest loosely in his lap as he smiles. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, rudraksha malas and ornate gold adornment on a throne fit the presentation of the Nithyananda Paramashivam candidate; the throne and ceremonial dress alone are not enough to confirm identity.
