A man seated on a white-and-gold jhula swing draped with jasmine garlands, wearing a deep red-maroon robe, multiple layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, a gold headband and a long dark hair bun with a gold ornament. He sits cross-legged on a gold-and-red throne before a large gilded backdrop. Beside him stand gold trident staffs and an ornate brass oil lamp with a bird finial, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. The setting suggests a ceremonial pushpabhishekam or padapuja event. Swamiji (probable): the man is the Nithyananda Paramashivam candidate, shown by long swept-back hair, a gold crown-style headpiece, saffron-red ornate clothing and heavy ceremonial gold necklaces.
