A seated man in a leopard-print top and maroon wrap sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) in a tent-like enclosure with painted fabric panels. He raises his right arm holding a silver staff with a small figure at its top, and a silver trident stands beside the throne. He wears a long garland of white flowers and a rudraksha-style mala, with a red tilak on his forehead. Purple and green stage lighting falls across the scene, and a laptop sits in the lower right. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, ceremonial gold-trimmed throne and staff, and a rudraksha mala mark him as a candidate for the Nithyananda Paramashivam figure.
