Nithyanandapedia
A seated guru in a cream turban and white robe with an orange, pink and gold striped shawl and a white flower garland receives a kneeling man in a grey long-sleeved top, who holds a book with the printed title Nithyananda Spurana and touches his palms to the guru's face in a gesture of blessing. Behind them, several men in white shirts stand in a carpeted hall, some holding small booklets and one with a mala of beads, while a gilded deity figure stands at the right edge beside a dark wood sideboard. Sanyasi in white and devotees gather in the background. The guru is a probable Swamiji by his turban, long swept-back hair, shawl and garland; he is an in_person candidate whose appearance is clear enough to label probable.

Around them stand several men: one in a white shirt and striped green top with hands in anjali, another in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala and gold pendant, a man in orange robes, and a bald man in white with an orange shawl at the right. A red tray with offerings and a plate of fruit or sweets sit in the foreground, and a dark curtain and TV screen with a logo are visible at the top left.
