A seated man in a rust-orange and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gold-and-cream throne carved with lion-head armrests, a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. He wears a long gold bead garland and a red bindi with white tilak, his feet resting on a pile of red flowers near a tray of brass cups and an oil lamp hanging overhead. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a crown-like ornate gold setting, saffron clothing and a ceremonial gold necklace indicate the Paramahamsa Nithyananda presence in this puja setting. Brass bells and a gold-filigreed backdrop complete the ritual scene.
