A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests. He wears a rust-brown saffron-toned robe, a white flower garland, layered gold necklaces, a gold belt-buckle with an emblem, and gold bangles. He has a white forehead mark with a red dot and smiles toward the camera. Behind him are two seated figures in ornate orange and gold garments with jewelled crowns and necklaces, and a decorative crescent crown ornament is visible. A silver staff stands at left and a bordered white-and-gold canopy fabric covers the dais. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure has long swept-back hair, a crown-like ornament, saffron-toned clothing, gold necklaces and a ceremonial garland, fitting the appearance cues for the Nithyananda Paramashivam, seated in the role of teacher.
