No physical people are visible.2010-09-26A framed photograph of a seated man in orange robes, with long dark hair, a red tilak on the forehead and a white bead necklace with a small pendant, raising one hand in blessing against a backdrop of large tangled tree roots. The framed picture is set on a draped orange cloth altar with red-edged borders, decorated with red hibiscus flowers along the top and several brass oil lamps, including a central lamp, arranged in front. The portrait is a depiction, not a person physically present in the room; no people are physically visible in the scene. The appearance of the pictured figure matches the probable identity cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style beads, so this is a person depiction on a shrine altar. Brass oil lamps stand on the altar.2009-11-14November 02 20132013-11-02April 17 20112011-04-17May 03 20132013-05-03January 01 20112011-01-01December 27 20072007-12-27 +1 copiesA shrine table draped in white holds a large framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" at centre.
