A seated figure with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a white-draped sofa in front of a banner reading "SHIVA SUTRAS" with a portrait labelled with a Nithyananda Paramashivam name. The person wears a cream and gold ivory outfit, palms pressed together in namaste. Flanking the sofa are vases of red, pink, orange and white flowers and palm fronds, with a red and gold cloth draped over side tables and an ornate round cushion on a red patterned rug. Behind is a wooden panelled wall framed by red, green and gold drapery. The scene suggests a satsang or discourse setting. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair and cream ceremonial clothing with gold trim.
