A man stands on a stage in front of a red backdrop with large Tamil script and a gilded throne-like chair at the left edge. He wears a rust-red shawl draped over the upper body, a red-brown dhoti with a gold-bordered band, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala around his neck, and rudraksha bracelets on both wrists and upper arms. A small red bindi marks his forehead and a headset microphone is fixed near his face as he gestures with one hand while speaking. The Tamil text on the backdrop reads in part paramahamsa and a partially visible line about nithyananda. Whether this man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a speaker.
