A photograph of a seated figure in a white ceremonial outfit with long, swept-back dark hair, gold embroidered collar and a gold-bordered shawl, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a maroon shirt and khaki trousers. The seated figure sits behind a white draped table holding a silver tray with cards and printed photos. Behind them a red banner shows a portrait labelled "Nithyananda", and red and gold drapes hang on the right. Pink, white and red flowers fill vases and arrangements on the left, and a red-and-gold cushion rests on a white sofa. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate white and gold clothing, and a shawl, and is shown blessing the devotee.
