A seated man with long dark hair, eyes closed and smiling, sits on a throne-like chair draped with spotted fur cushions. He wears a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a gold necklace with pendant, and a large garland of red, yellow and white flowers around his neck, with a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest on his lap. Behind him is an orange drape with palm fronds and vases of red roses and white flowers. A banner reads "Dhyana Spurana Program" with a portrait labelled "Nithyananda" showing a man in an orange turban. A fur-patterned carpet lies at the front, and a person's feet are visible on the left edge.
