A man with a neatly trimmed beard sits on an ornate white-and-red throne with a carved silver frame, wearing a rust-orange shawl over a bare upper body, a long rudraksha-style brown bead mala and a red-yellow-white marigold garland. He has a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead and looks upward. Behind him stand golden-clad deity murtis and a tall brass staff, with red drapes and a golden backdrop in the background. The page places this at a Nithyananda Peetham Bengaluru event with a Rudrabhishekam, so the seated man is a probable Swamiji on the throne, identified by the saffron-orange shawl, long swept-back hair, ceremonial beads and garland cues rather than face.
