A standing man on a stage holds a silver trident balanced across his shoulders with one arm extended. He wears a saffron-orange wrap over a red sleeveless top, with gold-edged orange cloth around his waist, and has long dark hair swept back. Behind him is a large orange upholstered throne-style chair with tasselled cushions, a white-draped table with a water bottle at left, and a backdrop with blue and orange lettering reading Paramahamsa Nithyananda, Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham and Nithyananda Spurana Program. The appearance-based label a person applies, with the saffron wrap, long swept hair and trident as cues, though a shaved or contradicting appearance would not qualify.
