A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with carved gilt scrollwork and a dark red cushion. The figure wears an orange-saffron robe draped over one shoulder, long gold beaded necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a red bindi, with long swept-back dark hair. Bare feet rest on a tiger-striped cloth at the base of the throne. To the right stands a tall ceremonial pillar of red and white segments topped by a circular disc, beside a deity murti wearing a red turban, gold-and-white ornaments and orange-marigold garlands. Swamiji (probable): the figure's long swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold necklaces match the cues for the Nithyananda Paramashivam.
