A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden-and-red throne decorated with a large arch of multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, white, green and purple. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti, a gold crown-like headpiece, multiple gold necklaces, a pink-and-white flower garland, and gold bangles, and sits cross-legged on a striped tiger-skin cushion with a trident leaning beside him. A microphone stands in front of him as he gestures while speaking, smiling broadly. Gold lion figures flank the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a full beard, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style adornments, consistent with the page's reference to Paramahamsa Nithyananda's 40th Avatardinotsava celebration. No other physical people are clearly visible.
