He wears a long red and green flower garland, layered beaded rudraksha-style malas, and a gold pendant, with a red tilak on his forehead and his hair in a topknot. He holds a silver ceremonial staff with a finial in his right hand, smiles, and looks to his side. Behind him a painted deity figure in orange holds a staff against a blue and green backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-clad figure with long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornments on a throne is a candidate for Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
