A seated man in saffron-orange and red robes sits on a brown leather throne-style chair with a wooden frame, cross-legged with hands resting on his lap. He wears a red-and-gold turban with a gold ornament, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, a gold-trimmed saffron wrap, and a small headset microphone. Behind him, a sea of seated devotees in white and red shawls fills a bright, warmly lit hall, with a YAMAHA audio mixer on the floor in front of the chair. Printed captions on the image read 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda' copyright information, and the page excerpt describes a Mandala process session in Varanasi. A visible saffron-robed figure with an ornate turban and rudraksha mala appears in the centre; the appearance cues are distinctive enough to label as Swamiji (probable) seated in person.
