A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair wearing an all-white kurta with gold-embroidered trim and a gold stole, smiling as he extends his hand over a child's head at a home-style gathering. A woman in a yellow and black plaid top leans in with her hands on the child's shoulders, and a second child in a yellow shirt stands beside them. A silver tray holding small photo cards rests on a white-draped table, with a vase of red roses, pink and white flowers, a water bottle and a tall white candle-holder nearby. Behind him a large printed banner shows a smiling man in dark clothing with the word Nithyananda. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man in white, identified by long swept-back hair and white and gold ceremonial dress, giving blessing to the child.
