A man with long dark hair sits in an ornate silver-and-cream armchair on a stage decorated with red and white flowers, potted palms and a brass kalasha-style lamp. He wears a gold-patterned embroidered kurta and white dhoti with a gold border, and a red bindi. His hands are folded in his lap and he smiles. Behind him hangs a large banner showing a smiling man in a white turban and dark garment, with the words "SHIVA SUTRA" and "Nithyananda". A small carved wooden figure and a music stand sit to the left. Attributed by the page to a Shiva Sutra event; the seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate with long swept hair, gold-patterned ceremonial clothing and a dhoti.
