A man in a flowing saffron-orange sleeveless robe stands on a red stage with his hands on his hips, smiling, with long dark hair falling past his shoulders and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him is a blue banner with Tamil and English text, and a white armchair sits to the left. A cameraman with a tripod stands at the right. In the foreground, white-clad women and girls with white ribbons in their hair sit on the floor, and a pink bag rests among them. The man's long swept-back hair, saffron robe and red mark match the swamiji appearance cues, and the banner text names the Nithyananda Spurana event, so the figure is described as Swamiji (probable) standing on stage.
