A photograph of a smiling man seated cross-legged on a large white throne-style chair on a stage. He wears an orange-saffron robe, has long dark hair, and holds up a small red-and-white book with a woman's portrait on its cover. Behind him is a blue banner with large white capital letters reading NITHYANANDA and partial letters of a second word. A microphone stand is visible at right, and a small table at left holds a flower vase with red and yellow flowers and a water bottle. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), in orange robes with long hair, seated on a throne, presenting a book at a convention.
