October 06 20152015-10-06A seated man in a rust-brown and gold-bordered dhoti-style wrap with a heavy gold beaded necklace and a long swept-back hair knot reaches forward to touch the hands of a standing man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala. Behind them, women in white and orange-trimmed clothing with garlands stand near gold lamps and a red draped backdrop. A seated figure in the background holds a sheet of paper. The seated man, with his long hair, saffron-toned wrap and ornate gold necklaces, matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, so this is an in-person candidate.2015-10-06July 17 20152015-07-17October 06 20152015-10-06A seated figure in a maroon-red sannyasi robe with an orange sash and rudraksha mala beads sits on a red cushioned seat, smiling broadly with a white vibhuti marking and red kumkum dot on the forehead, raising one palm toward a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala who stands with hands folded in namaskar. A gold-colored ornamental figure and yellow drape stand behind, with green potted plants and a fan nearby, and other white-clad attendees stand in the background.

Two people are clearly visible plus additional partial figures in the background.2015-02-15A photograph of a seated man in an orange and red shawl with heavy gold bead necklaces, hair tied in a bun, smiling and reading a small white card held in his right hand.

Behind them is a blurred golden altar with yellow and orange flower garlands and a gilded deity murti. Two physical people are visible.

Both are smiling. Behind them stand gold ritual objects, a gold kalasha-style lamp stand and a deep red cloth backdrop. Two other people in white and pastel clothing stand in the background. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and layered malas, matching the Nithyananda Paramashivam archive context; the figure is performing a blessing-style touch on the devotee's head.2015-10-06A seated man in a saffron-orange wrap with gold border sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a layered multi-strand necklace of gold and rudraksha-style beads and a vertical white forehead mark.

That younger man, in a white kurta and orange-red patterned shawl, has his palms pressed together in namaskar and holds a folded paper. Behind them, a woman in a white top and red shawl sits, and to the right a woman in a red shawl and red bindi watches. Potted green plants, a gold-coloured panel on the left and a maroon cloth draped over a seat frame the scene, with other devotees in red and white in the background. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially, with mala and gold-bead cues but no clearly distinctive crown or swept hair, so identity is uncertain.2015-03-02 +1 copies
