The portrait shows a smiling man in an orange turban with a red bindi and orange robes. A large banner behind shows a smiling figure in orange and a temple with a pond. In the foreground, a woman in a white blouse and dark hair bun lights an oil lamp, and a silver aarti lamp with lit wicks stands in front. A partially visible person's head is at the bottom edge. The portrait depicts the figure, not a physical person in the scene.

The gilded ornate frame sits between two golden lion sculptures on a decorated dais. A printed label in the frame reads 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda'. Below, the backs of several people in dark clothing sit facing the stage, with a brass lamp in the foreground and a background backdrop showing Balinese-style temple imagery. The portrait is a printed depiction, not a person physically present. The appearance cues of the portrait's subject include orange turban and shawl, long hair and a tilak, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable depiction.2013-12-15December 18 20132013-12-18July 20 20132013-07-20
