Photograph of a blurred figure in the foreground wearing a gold crown, a red and yellow marigold garland, and orange robes with gold trim, one arm extended toward a white board. The board carries a Kannada-language notice headed 'Special features' with a framed portrait of a smiling woman in orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace, labelled 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda' in the caption. The lower part of the board shows a phone number and the website www.nithyananda.org. The figure's face is not clearly visible, so no identification is made; the person is described by role and dress only.
