Photograph of a large hall with a seated assembly on a white floor covered partly by woven mats. Many participants in orange and saffron garments sit in rows facing a central figure seated on an ornate red-and-gold throne-like chair. The central figure wears orange-brown robes and has long hair. Some participants wear white ritual clothing and sit on white chairs at round tables along the right side. A standing figure in white stands near the back, and a few people on the left wear orange. Colourful hanging lanterns and cloth ornaments hang from the ceiling, and framed pictures line the walls. A brass lamp stands on the left.

Dozens of people sit cross-legged on the floor in orange and white ritual clothing, many bare-chested with orange cloths, facing a central figure seated on a red throne. The seated figure wears an orange-brown robe and long dark hair, with a lit lamp and brass items nearby. A central aisle of woven mat runs toward the throne. Chairs with white covers line the right side. This appears to be a darshan gathering during a Nithyananda Purnima Brahmotsavam event. The seated central figure appears to be a person, identified by a throne seat, long swept-back hair and orange robes, with an uncertain appearance.2018-05-21May 21 20182018-05-21 +1 copiesA large hall with white floor and pink-tinted walls hung with colourful tassel decorations and framed pictures. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate silver throne at the centre, surrounded by a semicircle of devotees in orange and white clothing sitting on the floor. Many seated people with shaved heads wear orange robes, while others wear white. Brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and offerings stand on a table at the front; a few people in white sit behind the chair. Round tables with white and yellow cloths and chairs fill the right side. The central figure's ornaments and hair are not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, so the seated man is described by role.2018-05-21May 21 20182018-05-21 +1 copiesA large hall with cream walls and a tiled floor hosts a seated assembly. In the foreground, several young people sit with bare upper bodies draped in orange cloth, many with long dark hair, facing a central raised seat. Rows of devotees in white clothing and orange garments fill the floor, and a figure in an orange turban and robe sits near a central platform with a tall brass lamp stand. Colorful hanging decorations and round lamp fixtures hang from the ceiling, and framed pictures line the walls. The scene suggests a satsang or initiation gathering rather than a named ritual.2018-05-11May 21 20182018-05-21 +2 copiesMay 21 20182018-05-21 +1 copiesOctober 03 20172017-10-03 +1 copiesMay 21 20182018-05-21May 21 20182018-05-21
