July 15 20112011-07-15A seated figure in a saffron-orange garment with a white turban and layered red, white and green garlands sits on a golden ornate throne against a deep red velvet backdrop. Heaps of orange and red flower petals cover the floor around him. Several women in white and cream sarees, one with a long braid and orange blouse, and a man in white dhoti and shawl, lift and pour petals from woven baskets. A small white bird figure sits atop the throne's side. The scene suggests a flower-offering ceremony. The seated figure has long hair and distinctive saffron clothing with garlands, a possible a person candidate, though appearance-based identification is uncertain.2012-01-01July 15 20112011-07-15A photograph of a festive ritual in a decorated pavilion. A seated figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe sits before a large golden throne-like backdrop framed by garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers. Around them, several people in white dhotis and white clothing, some bare-chested, hold large woven baskets filled with yellow and white flowers, pouring petals in a flower offering. A man in a white shirt and dhoti stands at left, and a bald devotee in the foreground faces the scene. A figure in orange robes stands at right beside the throne. The setting is a white canopy tent with white drapery and green floor covering.2011-07-15January 06 20132013-01-06January 06 20132013-01-06July 07 20092009-07-07A smiling man in orange and saffron silk sits on a gold throne draped with multicolored marigold and rose garlands, with a white turban-style headpiece and a rudraksha mala around his neck. An attendant in white kurta and cream dhoti, wearing a gold bangle, pours loose yellow and orange flowers from a woven basket over him, with more petals scattered in the foreground. The man's orange and saffron clothing and ornate garlanded throne suggest a person presence receiving a flower shower, a common honouring ritual at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam events. The setting is a hall with dark red drapes behind the throne.2012-01-01July 15 20112011-07-15A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban laughs broadly in front of a floral-decorated golden throne (peetha) draped with garlands of yellow, red, purple and green flowers. He wears a long beaded gold-toned necklace and an orange shawl across his lap. Around him, three people in white and orange clothing smile and laugh; a man in a white shirt sits at left, a woman in orange with a shawl and a man in white at right, and a woman's hands with bangles are visible in the lower left foreground. A white tent canopy forms the background. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne as the central figure, identified by the saffron robes, orange turban, gold necklaces and ceremonial throne setting.2011-07-15A photograph of a festive indoor event under a pink ceiling canopy with a multicoloured fringed umbrella overhead. A man seated on an ornate gilded throne draped in yellow, red and white marigold garlands laughs broadly. He wears a white turban, a white garment and a gold necklace. Around him, men in white shirts and orange shawls stand smiling, and a man in white holds a brass tray with offerings. Women in the foreground watch, and one holds a folded cloth. A small floral and lamp arrangement decorates the wall behind.
