A seated man on an ornate gold-and-brown throne with gold lion armrests receives a leafy green sprig being raised above his head by a shirtless priest in white dhoti standing at left, who holds a small brass vessel. The seated man wears a red-maroon saffron-toned robe, a long rudraksha mala draped over his chest, layered gold necklaces, gold bangles and armlet, a vibhuti mark on his forehead, and a small headset microphone, his eyes lowered. Behind them, seated devotees in white and red fill the hall, with a Yamaha keyboard at right. This appears to be a blessing with leaves at a satsang setting; a printed caption reads 2020 Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam
