A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair seated on a gold-ornamented throne, covered from the waist down by a deep layer of white jasmine blossoms, pink petals and yellow marigolds. He wears an orange saffron wrap over a saffron garment, a heavy gold necklace, rudraksha beads, a red bindi and a flower garland of white jasmine with red roses. Behind him, a gold throne back is decorated with red, orange and white flower garlands and green leaves. Appearance cues are distinctive for a person: long swept hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha mala, seated on a flower-decorated throne, a pose consistent with being honoured with flowers at a Nithya Satsang.
