A photograph from a Navaratri Darbar at Nithyananda Peetham, Bengaluru Aadheenam. A bearded man with long dark hair, a red forehead mark and white tripundra markings sits on an ornate white-and-red throne, wearing a rust-red shawl over his shoulders and a small gold pendant. He smiles and gestures with his right hand while speaking. Devotees surround the stage: a woman in a white garment with a red shawl presses her palms together at left, and a woman in a cream sari with gold jewellery sits at right. Red drapes hang behind the dais. The man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, saffron-red clothing, a ceremonial pendant and the throne setting. Partially visible figures include seated devotees in the foreground.
