A seated man in saffron-orange robes speaks into a microphone on a raised pink platform, legs crossed and hands clasped in his lap, with a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him a gilt-framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a smiling figure in orange with a white flower garland, seated before a banyan tree. Stacked yellow and red cushions, brass kalasha-style vessels, tall bamboo poles with saffron pennants, a silver trident-like staff and a conch shell with a peacock feather sit on the platform. The man's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate cues (orange clothing, red bindi), though identity is not certain from the image alone. A white-cloth-covered table holds a jar of pickle in the lower left.
