A seated man in orange-saffron robes and an orange turban raises one hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. He wears layered gold necklaces, a red-and-gold rudraksha-style mala, bangles and a bindi, sitting on an ornate gold throne with a high gilded back, garlanded with rainbow-coloured flowers in red, purple, yellow, green and white. Brass oil lamps with swan-shaped finials stand on either side, and hanging lamps are visible above. A gold footstool sits in front. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, orange turban, gold necklaces and mala with ornate throne match the page's reference to Paramahamsa Nithyananda on the throne during the satsang.
