Photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a small crescent emblem, a rust-orange robe, a heavy beaded rudraksha-style mala and a large gold pendant necklace, plus gold bangles and a bindi. His right hand is raised in a mudra. A gilded hooded serpent canopy and red draped curtains with painted deity imagery form the backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, ornate saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace on a throne match the cues for Paramahamsa Nithyananda, presented as a discourse on the throne.
