A photograph of a Dashara-2008 stage backdrop with a large banner reading "celebrate the Divine Mother and be blessed with enlightenment". A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a gold canopy, garlanded with marigolds and flowers, with floral arrangements and microphones on either side. The banner shows a smiling man with a white-clad torso and a sandalwood tilak, labelled "Paramahamsa Ni...", and a painted deity with a crown and red-and-gold sari beside him. The seated figure's appearance is not clear enough to assign an identity from the image.
