A seated figure in a saffron-red robe and orange shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back and cushions, a tiger-skin rug beneath the feet. The figure wears a red and pink flower garland, a gold-beaded rudraksha-style mala, a gold necklace and a red forehead mark, with long hair swept back, and gestures with the right hand while speaking. Beside the throne, a framed portrait of a bearded elder in a white turban and rudraksha beads, labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" in the caption, is heaped with marigold garlands and a carpet of orange and pink flowers. Orange marigold garlands hang from a tree and a metal gate behind. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure are consistent with a person, seated in a teaching posture.
