A photograph of a long-haired man standing on a raised stage in front of an ornate gold arched backdrop with green and red lighting. He wears a rust-orange garment draped over the body with a leopard-print wrap, multiple strands of beaded necklaces and a red-tipped trident held in his right hand. He has a white-painted forehead with a red bindi and is smiling. Fruit lies on the stage platform in front of him. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha-style beaded malas and trident are consistent with the page's reference to Paramahamsa Nithyananda, but the appearance cues alone do not establish identity with certainty.2013-03-04 +1 copiesStage photograph of a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a small red bindi, and a headset microphone. He wears an orange sleeveless top, layered silver and ornate ceremonial necklaces, rudraksha mala beads on his wrists and waist, and a leopard-print garment, while holding a silver trident. Behind him is an ornate gold arched frame with a purple backdrop. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), due to long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial necklaces, shown in a stage performance setting.2012-04-22A seated person on an ornate gold throne with a repoussé golden backrest holds a silver trident in the right hand, the trident's tines and shaft prominent on the right side of the frame. The person wears a rust-brown shawl draped over a leopard-print garment, long rudraksha and skull-bead malas in multiple strands, a rudraksha bracelet and armband, and a brown and gold-bordered dhoti. A red bindi marks the forehead, and a small microphone is clipped near the ear. Appearance-based label: a person is not applicable here, since the cues are a seated ritual performer with long swept-back hair, rudraksha and skull malas, and a trident, which are consistent with a deity-costumed performance rather than a clear identification.2013-05-01A man with long, loose dark hair and a red-painted face stands beside an ornate gilded throne-like frame. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless top and a brown dhoti-style lower garment, with multiple strands of rudraksha and gold beaded malas around his neck. He holds a silver trident in his right hand and smiles toward the audience, wearing a small microphone at his cheek. Strong red and green stage lighting falls across the scene. The appearance of this Shiva-themed figure with trident and rudraksha malas is consistent with a person performing on stage.2013-03-02July 04 20122012-07-04September 08 20122012-09-08January 11 20132013-01-11March 04 20132013-03-04 +1 copiesJuly 08 20132013-07-08September 08 20122012-09-08A performer on a stage sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat framed by a large red and gold arch.
