A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead, seated on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a tiger-striped cloth and maroon velvet armrests. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with gold border, a rudraksha mala, multiple gold bead necklaces and a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and holds a silver trident (trishul) upright beside him. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold ceremonial jewellery, saffron-orange clothing and trident together match the page's reference to a seated figure at a Nithyananda event, and he is the sole person in the scene.
