Nithyanandapedia
A photograph of a seated figure on a richly decorated golden throne (peetha) draped with garlands of yellow, orange, purple and white flowers. The seated man wears a gold crown, a pink silk garment with green border, and a long gold necklace, and holds a small ceremonial bell in his hand. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate pink and gold clothing and a crown, consistent with the page's reference to the Nithyananda discourse. To the left, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds a green basket of apples, while a bald man in white with an orange shawl stands beside a brass oil lamp (deepam) burning on the stand. A grey-brick backdrop and a dark curtain form the setting, with a microphone at the right edge.
