Beside him are two white cushioned chairs, a small orange flower arrangement and a water bottle on a white-draped table, with a bed of red petals at the front. A large banner behind shows a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" in a gilded frame with garlanded flowers, and printed Tamil and English text reading Nithyananda Spurana Programme. A few audience members' heads are visible at the bottom edge. The appearance-based label a person applies to the seated man, who is physically present at the convention.
