A photograph of a young man in a blue and yellow plaid shirt raising his right palm toward a long-haired man seated on a white cushioned seat. The seated man wears a cream embroidered kurta and a red and white flower garland, and gestures with his right hand over a silver tray. Behind them hang blue and red draped fabrics, a peacock-feather display, string lights, and a banner with red script reading Nithyananda. Red roses, pink lilies and white flowers fill a vase at right. The seated man has long swept-back hair and is described by the page as Swamiji; his appearance matches that description with several cues (long hair, garland, cream ceremonial dress), so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in the room.
