A man with long dark hair, a tilak on his forehead and a cream-white dhoti sits in a large gold-ornate throne with red velvet cushions, hands pressed together in namaskar. He wears a rudraksha-style beaded mala and a gold armlet. The throne is set before a gold draped backdrop framed by an arch of red, orange, yellow and white flowers, with gold carved side pedestals and a microphone on a stand to the right. The page identifies this as a Nithyananda satsang, and the man's appearance with long hair, saffron-free white ceremonial dress, gold adornments and beaded mala is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate, seated in a satsang on a peetha throne.
