A man in a cream and gold embroidered sherwani with a red-and-gold shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a canopy under a cream turban, smiling as he speaks. The throne sits on a stage draped in red cloth with gold trim, flanked by vases of red and white carnations, water bottles and a palm frond. Seated audience members in the foreground, including a woman in a red shawl, face the stage in a hall with a black backdrop and a projection screen. A banner partly visible at top reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The seated figure's appearance is not confidently established, so he is described by role and clothing only.
