A seated man with long dreadlocks and a leopard-print headband, eyes closed and smiling, raises one hand in blessing before a microphone. He wears a rust-red robe with gold border, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a gold pendant, and a red thread on his wrist, with a forehead mark. He sits on a white ornate chair in front of an elaborate gold carved backdrop with cross-shaped cutouts, a red curtain at right, and white jasmine garlands at lower right. A small bronze figure stands at lower left. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron-red ceremonial clothing, and rudraksha-style gold adornments suggest the Nithyananda Paramashivam candidate, seated and giving a discourse or blessing.
