Behind them, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a smiling figure in orange turban and saffron robes. A small wooden box with offerings sits in front, under a decorative parasol and gold-trimmed red cushions, in an indoor hall with brown wall panels and potted plants.2013-12-02Photograph of an indoor ceremonial moment in front of red velvet and gold-trimmed thrones. On the left, an older woman with grey hair in an orange saffron shawl leans forward and presses her palm to the forehead of a seated monk. The monk, on the right, has his hands folded in namaste, eyes lowered, and wears a rudraksha mala with large beads and a gold necklace over a reddish-brown robe with gold border, with white tilak marks on his forehead. Behind them a man in an orange-and-gold shawl sits watching. Three people are visible.2015-09-14A photograph of a seated man in a golden-framed ornate throne, wearing a maroon and gold-bordered dhoti-style garment, a long rudraksha mala and a red wrist thread, smiling as he reaches forward to touch the hand of a younger person. The younger person wears an orange saffron robe, glasses and a short hair cut, standing and smiling. A third person in a rudraksha mala, partly visible at the right edge, looks on. The background is a beige wall and cushioned throne back. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold-trimmed throne seating, which are distinctive ceremonial cues for the presiding Swamiji.2014-03-09A photograph of an indoor seated ritual on red velvet thrones with gold carved frames. A figure with long swept-back grey-black hair wears an orange saffron silk shawl and is marking a tilak of white paste on the forehead of a seated man. The seated man, bare-shouldered in a maroon-brown ochre garment with a yellow edge, wears a layered rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured ceremonial necklace, and holds his hands together in prayer with eyes closed. Behind them is a patterned curtain in white, maroon and grey. a person in the orange shawl with long swept hair, applying the marking, consistent with the page's account of the Kumbh events.2015-09-14A seated man in maroon robes with long dark hair and a gold-trimmed throne behind him drapes an orange shawl over a young boy in orange clothes and glasses, who bows with hands joined. A smiling bald man in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala stands at right, watching. A gold-ornamented chair and cream wall form the backdrop of this initiation-style moment. The seated man has long swept hair and a rudraksha mala visible on his chest, which are cues for a person, but the appearance is not conclusive, so this is marked unsure.2014-03-09May 12 20142014-05-12A seated figure with long dark hair in a bun, bare-shouldered and wearing a red cloth, with a yellow and orange marigold garland, places his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a striped dark shirt and orange shawl who bows with eyes closed. Behind them a silver staff stands beside a large gold-coloured animal figure. In the background a woman in a white outfit with an orange shawl stands with hands folded, and another woman smiles. The setting is an indoor hall with wooden panels and a framed picture on the wall. a person: the seated figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold-toned adornments and a red cloth, consistent with the page's attribution of a person at this satsang.2014-05-14A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red turban, rust-red robe and long dark swept-back hair, with a brown-and-gold patterned shawl, placing both palms on the head of a standing man in an orange sleeveless vest over a white shirt, with an orange shawl and red wristband, who bows low with hands pressed together. Behind them a gilded throne backrest and a leopard-print cushion sit beside a painted decorative panel. A young man in orange robes and beaded necklaces stands at the left edge and a cameraman is visible behind the panel. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's subject, but cues are limited, so the identity is uncertain and described by role.2016-05-13July 16 20142014-07-16
