A figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion raises one hand in blessing. He wears a white dhoti with an orange-red shawl, a white turban with red trim, and a long necklace of white beads and gold. Beside the throne, a red-and-white draped table holds brass lamps and a kalasha-like pot. Two people in white with orange shawls kneel in front of the stage at the lower left, one bowing low to the steps. A third person in white lies prostrate in the lower right, face down on the stage floor. A tall red-and-orange banner hangs behind the throne, and small green and pink tinsel decorations stand at the sides.2007-05-04December 09 20122012-12-09July 21 20062006-07-21November 05 20102010-11-05February 24 20072007-02-24A photograph of a ceremonial stage set before a painted temple backdrop with carved pillars.

A seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits on a raised white-and-red striped platform before a framed portrait labelled Paramahamsa Nithyananda, garlanded with yellow marigolds. Seated devotees in white clothes, some with yellow garlands, sit on the platform. A large crowd of people in white with long hair braids sits in the foreground facing the platform. A small flame and offerings lie near the platform, and a lit deity image glows in the upper left. Several attendees face the central figure in prayer.2009-12-30July 20 20062006-07-20
