A photograph of two seated men at a decorated altar with gold ornaments behind them and marigold garlands on the table. On the left, a smiling man in a red turban, saffron-red robe, a gold-and-bead mala and gold armlet sits with a vibhuti mark on his forehead. On the right, an older bearded man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a yellow tilak holds up a blue book whose cover shows a photo of the smiling man in a red turban and mala. The book cover reads a Hindi title and the name Paramhans Nithyanand. Two older-style stacks of books and a small sheet lie on the table, and a third man sits partly visible at the far right.

The man on the left wears a red-maroon turban, saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders, and a beaded gold-and-brown necklace of ornaments; he holds his hands in anjali mudra and smiles. The older man on the right has a shaved head, white beard, yellow tilak on his forehead, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, and holds a small book. A third seated person in orange and red sits in the background beside a gilded throne, and a man in white stands at the right edge. Marigold flowers and brass trays with offerings sit on the table. Only the left figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues such as a turban and ornate adornment, so appearance-based identification is uncertain.2015-09-12
