A man stands on a stage in a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder, with long dark hair swept back, a red bindi on his forehead and a rudraksha mala around his neck. His eyes are closed and his palms are raised outward in a gesture of blessing or prayer. Behind him a blue backdrop with large orange lettering reading INTERNATIONAL is partly visible, and the blurred orange and white stage lights suggest a motion-filled event. The frame is a vertical photograph of this single figure performing before an audience.

He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala of dark beads around the neck, and a red bindi on the forehead, with long dark hair swept back. Behind him a large purple and white banner reads NITHYANANDA and INTERNATIONAL VED, with a huge portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban, labelled with a caption ending in "sa Nithyanan". A white-clad figure appears at the right edge. Probable Swamiji: the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala match the cues, and he stands before a banner bearing his name, so the depiction is an in-person candidate, appearance-based only.2007-12-15December 15 20072007-12-15November 08 20112011-11-08December 15 20072007-12-15A man with long, swept-back dark hair stands on a stage in a long, flowing saffron-orange garment draped over one shoulder, with a dark rudraksha mala necklace and a small red mark on his forehead.

One hand is raised in a gesture toward the side. Behind is a white stage backdrop with a pale banner bearing Tamil-script lettering, a white ornate bracket, and pink and purple flowers on top. A white air cooler sits at the lower right, and a dark monitor and orange curved stage piece are at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala fit the page's Kalpataru event context, so the figure is described as a probable Swamiji presence.2010-02-14
