A figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe stands outdoors under a colourful canopy, raising both hands in greeting above his head. He wears a gold headband, a long garland of red and yellow-and-purple flowers, and a gold bead necklace, and holds a silver ceremonial sword. Behind him is a decorated umbrella in red, blue and yellow, an orange flag and a banner. Men in white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby, one wearing a rudraksha mala. A paper banner partly reads Nithyananda Youth Co... Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, long hair, gold headband and garland match the page's description of an honoured guest.
