A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe with a rudraksha mala and a white tilak on his forehead smiles warmly while resting his right hand on the shoulder of a man in a white shirt and white trousers with a rudraksha mala, who kneels with palms joined in anjali and is looking up at him. The seated figure is positioned on a red-cushioned throne-like seat in front of a golden ornamental backdrop, potted green plants, and a yellow draped altar with a deity murti adorned with gold jewellery. Other people in white kurtas and a red-bordered sari stand in the background, and a white fan stands at the right. A piece of paper is held in the seated man's hand.

A seated figure in a maroon-red sannyasi robe with an orange sash and rudraksha mala beads sits on a red cushioned seat, smiling broadly with a white vibhuti marking and red kumkum dot on the forehead, raising one palm toward a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala who stands with hands folded in namaskar. A gold-colored ornamental figure and yellow drape stand behind, with green potted plants and a fan nearby, and other white-clad attendees stand in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person given the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial setting, so this is treated as in person and an appearance-based identity claim. Two people are clearly visible plus additional partial figures in the background.2015-02-15A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a white tilak on his forehead rests his hand on the shoulder of a man in a white shirt standing before him. The seated figure has his hair pulled back in a bun and is smiling warmly. Behind them stands a yellow-gold draped backdrop with green potted plants, and in the background a woman in a yellow-and-green sari and another person in white are visible. A gold-trimmed seat and an orange cloth lie in the foreground.2015-02-15February 15 20152015-02-15A seated man with long swept-back hair, a white vibhuti marking on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and orange-saffron cloth sits on a gold-framed throne in a temple-like hall. Facing him, a bearded man in a white kurta raises both hands in a blessing or pranam gesture toward the seated man's head. Behind them, a deity murti is decorated with red flower garlands and a purple cloth, with red drapery and gold pillars. A standing man in white dhoti and shirt watches at right. The seated man's distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala make him a probable Swamiji in person.2013-09-28A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a bare upper body, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a white vibhuti line on the forehead, clasping hands with a man in white kurta and white dhoti who wears a rudraksha mala and bows forward. Behind them a gold-draped altar holds a gilded deity murti with ornate gold garlands, potted green plants, and a silver staff. Several people in white and yellow-green saris and white clothing stand in the background, and a woman in a cream sari with a rudraksha mala sits at right beside an older man in glasses with an orange shawl. The seated figure has long hair pulled back and distinctive rudraksha adornment, consistent with the a person appearance label in a ritual setting.2015-02-15A photograph of a satsang setting. In the foreground, a man in a saffron-orange wrap with a thick brown rudraksha-style mala and gold beads sits facing right, his hair tied in a bun, extending his hands toward a younger man. That younger man, in a white kurta and orange-red patterned shawl, has his palms pressed together in namaskar and holds a folded paper. Behind them, a woman in a white top and red shawl sits, and to the right a woman in a red shawl and red bindi watches. Potted green plants, a gold-coloured panel on the left and a maroon cloth draped over a seat frame the scene, with other devotees in red and white in the background. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially, with mala and gold-bead cues but no clearly distinctive crown or swept hair, so identity is uncertain.2015-03-02 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20152015-02-25February 15 20152015-02-15Two men face each other in an indoor hall with a white wall, a wall-mounted air conditioner and a pedestal fan behind them. The man on the left wears long swept-back dark hair, an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and bare arm, a long orange beaded necklace, and a white forehead mark; he sits smiling on a red cushioned seat, one hand open and extended. Across from him, a man in a white kurta with a red cord around his neck sits with both palms pressed together in a namaste-like greeting. The scene looks like a satsang seating area.2013-07-01April 26 20152015-04-26A bare-chested man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a saffron-orange shawl and a thick ceremonial beaded necklace of rudraksha-style malas, presses his palms to the forehead of a smiling bald man in a white kurta with an orange lanyard and wristwatch. Both are smiling. Behind them stand gold ritual objects, a gold kalasha-style lamp stand and a deep red cloth backdrop. Two other people in white and pastel clothing stand in the background. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and layered malas, matching the Nithyananda Paramashivam archive context; the figure is performing a blessing-style touch on the devotee's head.2015-10-06September 13 20132013-09-13
