Nithyanandapedia
A man with eyes closed sits in meditation against a dark background beside an ornate gold throne. He wears a rust-brown turban with a jewelled ornament, a rudraksha mala and pink flower garland with gold beads, and a brown shawl over the shoulder. A red tilak marks his forehead, and a gold earring hangs from one ear. Swamiji (probable): long hair under the turban, rudraksha and ceremonial garland, and a gold-and-red throne suggest Paramahamsa Nithyananda in silent meditation.
