A screenshot of an archive slide titled Incident: Madurai Aadheenam Background, with a Location and Date header (27 April, 2012) and a two-column layout: The Coronation text on the left and a Photos panel on the right. The photo shows a ceremony in a gold-decorated setting: a seated elder in an ornate gold crown and white robe pours or places a golden object on the head of a kneeling man in saffron/orange robes with a red-and-white garland. Two other saffron-robed men stand behind, one holding a garland and one in the background, with a red drape and gilded chair visible.April 28 20122012-04-28AUGUST 13 20212021-08-13 +2 copiesMay 05 20122012-05-05 +1 copiesA five-panel photo collage of a temple event.

Top right: men in white shirts stand among devotees. Centre: a shaved-headed man in white receives an anointing as a man in orange and white stands beside him. Bottom left: a figure in orange sits beside a small framed picture and a lit oil lamp. Bottom right: a figure with a red-and-gold headdress, a garland of flowers and orange and red robes is seated. The throne figure has long hair, a crown-style turban, a saffron shawl and gold ornaments, consistent with a person presence; the appearance cue is moderate, so the status is unsure.2012-04-29 +1 copiesA young man in a bright yellow shirt bows his head while a robed teacher in saffron-orange clothing places his hand on the crown of his head, an initiation-style blessing. The teacher wears an orange turban and a shawl draped over bare shoulders, with a garland of yellow and white flowers across his lap. Behind them a woman in a white sari stands near a flip chart, and a large orange banner with partial lettering hangs on the right. Two people are visible, and the scene is a seated ceremony at a convention hall.2004-07-26 +1 copiesA coronation ceremony on a raised golden throne platform.

A man in an orange turban, orange robe and a garland of yellow and red flowers stands with his hand raised over the head of a man in a white shirt, who bows forward with his hands together near his face. The orange-clad figure has long dark hair and a broad smile. A white paste or powder is visible on the bowed man's forehead and the orange-clad person's arm. Behind them, a banner shows a partly visible orange-robed figure and the words "Paramahamsa" and "Thvan" (partially cut off). A woman in a pale blue sari sits at the left edge, and a striped cloth-covered seat is in the lower centre. The appearance-based label cannot be confirmed from the visible cues, so the orange-clad figure is described by role.2004-07-26 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron sari with an orange head covering and a yellow and red garland, smiling as their hand rests on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows forward with a rudraksha mala around his neck.

Behind them a backdrop shows a large portrait in orange tones with partial text reading Paramahamsa and NITHYANANDA, and striped cushions are visible.
