A photograph of a seated saffron-robed figure in an orange shawl, wearing a tall orange rudraksha crown with a gold emblem and a dark rudraksha mala with gold necklaces, raising a small hand-held object to his mouth. Beside him on the left, a smiling man in rust-coloured robes and a large gold chain necklace with a pendant sits with his hands in his lap, a tray of marigold flowers and rudraksha beads in front of them. Behind them, a third seated figure in saffron-orange clothing raises a hand against a gold and pink throne backdrop with fresh roses. The older man in orange has been placed with the text Paramahamsa Nithyananda noted in the page excerpt, but his appearance is taken from visible cues: rudraksha crown, gold necklaces and orange shawl, so the identification is probable. Setting appears to be a decorated stage or dais with flowers and a gilded throne.
