A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold lion-armed throne with brown leather cushions, smiling, wearing a rust-red turban with a vermilion bindi, a rust-red and gold-bordered robe, and a dense multi-strand rudraksha-style mala with large gold beads and a gold pendant. A microphone on a stand is near his face. Behind him stand two golden deity murti, one with a trident and one with a crown and jewelled necklace, plus a brass oil lamp at left. Visible appearance cues (turban, saffron-red robes, rudraksha mala and gold ornamentation) suggest a probable Swamiji seated in a teaching setting, though this is appearance-based only.2015-09-14 +1 copiesA smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits on an ornate red velvet throne with silver-white carved trim. He wears a white and pink flower garland, a heavy gold necklace with a gold pendant, gold armbands and gold bangles, and holds his hands clasped in his lap. A white ceramic mug with a small printed image sits on a silver side table beside him. Behind him is a large gilded carved relief panel showing bearded sage figures with hands raised in namaskar. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, orange turban, gold ornaments and garland match the presentation of the teacher named on the page, seated in a place of honour.2017-08-15A photograph of a man seated on an ornate red velvet throne with white carved trim, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture and smiling. He wears a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange robe, long gold necklaces, a large gold pendant, a white flower garland, gold bangles and gold earrings, with a red tilak on his forehead. A microphone on a stand stands at right. Behind him is a large gold relief sculpture of figures and hands, and red cushions sit at the lower edges. The page identifies this as Swamiji; the appearance cues (orange turban and robe, gold ornaments, rudraksha-style regalia and throne) are consistent, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.2017-08-15A man seated on an ornate golden throne with carved lion-head armrests, wearing a red turban, a red-saffron robe with gold border, and a long necklace of large beads. He smiles and rests one arm on the armrest. Beside him a silver vessel, a steel flask and an orange cup sit on a small dark table, with red cloth folded nearby and purple flowers in the foreground. Behind him stand golden deity murtis and gilded ceremonial metalwork.2015-09-15 +1 copiesAugust 28 20162016-08-28A smiling man sits on an ornate silver-framed red velvet throne in front of a large gold-toned relief sculpture of deities with raised hands. He wears a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a heavy gold necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and a long white and pink flower garland. He rests his right hand on a small silver side table holding a framed picture. Only his bare feet are visible at the bottom. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a rust-orange turban, gold necklaces and armbands and a flower garland, consistent with the page's description of Paramahamsa Nithyananda seated in a ceremonial setting.2017-08-15February 19 20172017-02-19November 12 20152015-11-12 +2 copiesSeptember 20 20152015-09-20October 22 20152015-10-22 +1 copiesTwo men sit on ornate silver-and-red thrones in front of a red curtain and gold carved panels at a formal discourse.

The man on the right wears a dark red turban with a yellow feather plume, a long dark braid, a red-brown robe and a gold-edged shawl, smiling as he listens.
