A seated man in a rust-brown robe sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a carved cobra hood and gilded lotus-petal backrest, a red cushion behind him. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, rudraksha-style brown beads on his arms and a long dark braided hair. He has a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead and a broad smile. A small red candle sits on a wooden side table at left, and a painted deity backdrop with red and orange tones fills the upper background. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated in the honoured place on the throne with long hair, rudraksha beads and gold ornaments. A printed caption reads Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.
