A seated figure in a white ceremonial garment with a red bindi and long dark hair sits on a white-draped seat before a banner with a portrait labelled "Nithyananda" and a large partly visible word "SUTRA". A man in a red checked shirt leans in and raises both hands toward the seated figure's head in a blessing-like gesture. Red and white roses, gladioli and pink flowers fill a glass vase, peacock feathers rest on the right, and a silver tray with a yellow cloth sits on a pink-draped table. The seated figure matches the appearance of the a person candidate, with long swept hair and white ceremonial clothing, though the face and attire cues are not distinctive enough to confirm beyond white robes and a bindi, so identity is uncertain.
