A photograph of a stage event with an orange banner behind it reading in Kannada "Paramahamsa Sri Nithyanandaravara 29ne Jayanti mattu Dhyanapeetada ... varshikotsava" with three circular portrait inserts above. Four men stand or sit in front of ornate gold-and-red thrones along a pink-draped table with marigold garlands and water bottles. A man on the left in white kurta and a white shawl reaches toward a tall, long-haired man in an orange robe and orange turban wearing a long beaded necklace, who turns toward a bald man in orange robes with white tilak marks. At the far right, an older man in orange robes adjusts his shawl. The tall man in orange with a turban and long hair is a visible candidate for the a person description, but his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
