May 24 20042004-05-24A photograph of a large seated audience facing a stage in a hall with deep red draped curtains. A person in orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate cream and brown patterned throne-like seat, with a small wooden stand and a bouquet of purple flowers beside them. Many attendees in white clothing fill the foreground, mostly seen from behind. Two electric fans stand at the sides of the stage and a video camera on a tripod is at the right edge. A yellow banner hangs at the top left. The orange-robed figure on the throne matches the appearance cues the page associates with a person, but the seated figure is distant and small, so the identity is uncertain.2008-10-04Photograph of a seated meditation programme in a hall with a carved wooden throne at right. Rows of seated participants in white clothes and white garments with rudraksha-style necklaces sit on striped mats, some women in pink and pastel saris. A woman in white with a red border stands at right beside a camera on a tripod. A yellow banner reading Purna Pe... Bangalore hangs behind the throne, and a red sign reading Nithyananda S... is visible at the right edge. Wooden pillars frame the scene and a small air cooler sits near the wall.2004-05-24A photograph of a seated saffron-robed teacher on an ornate carved wooden throne with a white cushioned back, draped with marigold garlands, on a raised stage with a blue cloth-covered table, potted plants and brass lamps. He wears an orange cloth and a saffron head wrap, and his hands are raised in a gesturing pose while he speaks into a microphone. Before him sit a large seated audience of devotees dressed in white, many women with long braided hair, some wearing red thread around the neck. Along the right backdrop hangs a blue banner with Dhyanapeetam text. A throne, saffron robes and head wrap give the presenter a teaching role, and the seated congregation suggests a satsang or discourse.2003-01-01December 29 20062006-12-29April 12 20082008-04-12A photograph of a large indoor hall where a seated audience of many people in white clothes sits on colourful woven mats facing a raised stage. On the stage, a figure in an orange robe sits on a white throne-like seat with a small floral arrangement and a plant beside it, in front of dark red drapes. A banner at left reads a Tamil-script title with a portrait of a person wearing an orange turban and a globe graphic. Water bottles are placed along the aisle and a whiteboard stands at the right side of the stage.A seated figure in long swept-back dark hair and an orange-saffron robe sits cross-legged on a white raised throne-like seat on a stage before a dark red curtain. A white flowered arrangement sits on a small white table beside the seat, and a standing fan and a camera on a tripod are set at the stage edge. In the foreground, a large audience of men in white shirts and trousers sits in white chairs facing the stage, with many heads visible from behind. The orange-robed figure with distinctive long hair fits the page's description of a person, so this is a probable appearance-based identification of the person on stage.2008-04-12July 02 20152015-07-02 +1 copiesJanuary 05 20082008-01-05A wide view of a seated audience facing a stage in a hall with dark red curtains and colourful woven banners on the pillars.
