A standing figure on a stage raises both arms overhead in an open greeting gesture. 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.
