A seated man in saffron-orange robes receives a forehead touch from a fair-haired man in a white shirt and an orange-patterned shawl, whose hands are raised in front of him. The seated man wears a multicolour garland of white, yellow, green and red flowers, a red thread on his wrist and a red tilak on his forehead, and sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne in front of an ornate silver backdrop. The setting is a stage with a dark blue background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long dark hair, orange robes and a garland, and is presented on a throne, consistent with the page's claim. A printed caption reads Nithyananda Paramashivam
