A large framed photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange turban with a red tilak on his forehead and an orange shawl, is displayed at the centre of a stage. The gilded ornate frame sits between two golden lion sculptures on a decorated dais. A printed label in the frame reads 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda'. Below, the backs of several people in dark clothing sit facing the stage, with a brass lamp in the foreground and a background backdrop showing Balinese-style temple imagery. The portrait is a printed depiction, not a person physically present. The appearance cues of the portrait's subject include orange turban and shawl, long hair and a tilak, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable depiction.2013-12-15September 20 20132013-09-20July 17 20142014-07-17A framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" sits on a gilded ornate throne-like seat (peetha) inside a temple shrine.
