A smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved gilded backrest and a maroon velvet cushion. He wears a rust-orange patterned turban with a small red bindi, a saffron-orange and gold-bordered shawl draped over bare shoulders, multiple strands of brown rudraksha beads and heavy gold necklaces, gold bangles on his arms, and a small headset microphone. Beside him stands a tall silver trident (trishul) with a gold-tipped staff, and a small gold-handled staff rests nearby. Green leaves of a potted plant appear at the lower left against a dark red background. Probable Swamiji: the saffron and gold robes, rudraksha malas, turban and throne are consistent with a presentation of Paramahamsa Nithyananda in a satsang setting.
