Nithyanandapedia
A photograph of a man seated with eyes closed in a calm meditative posture, hands clasped in his lap. He has long dark hair falling past his shoulders, a red bindi on his forehead, and wears a white garment with gold-coloured border, draped over one shoulder, with a heavy gold ceremonial necklace of bead-like links. Behind him is a backdrop heavily decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, white jasmine, red and magenta flowers, and purple blooms, with an ornate gold relief panel on the right. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, gold necklace and white-and-gold attire match the page's reference to Nithyananda Paramashivam, identified here by appearance cues alone and seated in a meditative posture before a floral backdrop.
