A bearded sadhu with matted dreadlocks gathered into a topknot sits at a silver-covered stage table, reading a yellow leaflet headed NITHYANANDA Gurukul. He wears a loose saffron-orange robe and a red and blue woven shoulder strap, with a sandalwood-coloured tilak on his forehead. A tray of orange marigold garlands rests on the table beside him, and a glittering gold and copper ornamental backdrop and red drapery stand behind. A second robed figure in orange is partly visible at the left edge. The image is a photograph of a stage event.
