A photo of two men posing side by side before a richly decorated shrine with gold filigree and a deity murti with a crown and red-and-yellow garlands. The man on the left wears a white kurta and dhoti with a rust-orange shawl printed with script, a wooden rudraksha mala, a yellow tilak on his forehead, and holds a folded cream cloth; he smiles and raises one hand. The man on the right wears a rust-orange turban and rust-orange robes with a gold-bordered wrap, a heavy red and yellow garland of flowers and beads, and a gold pendant; he smiles broadly. Two physical people are visible. The garlands and ornate decorations frame the scene. The a person field is unsure because the right-hand man has a turban and garlanded ceremonial dress but his appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm the page's claim.

Two men stand side by side posing for a photo in front of an ornate gold-and-red shrine backdrop with deity murtis. On the left, a smiling man in a white kurta wears a saffron-and-white sacred-text shawl printed with Om symbols, a rudraksha mala, a yellow tilak on his forehead, and holds a folded paper packet. On the right, a smiling man with a swept orange-red turban and saffron robes wears a long garland of white jasmine, yellow marigold and red roses, along with a gold pendant and rudraksha malas. Behind them, a gilded deity figure wears red and gold garments and heavy gold jewellery, and flower garlands drape the scene.2015-07-13July 13 20152015-07-13 +1 copiesOctober 18 20152015-10-18Photograph of a seated man with long dreadlocked hair, wearing a rust-brown robe with gold border, a heavy gold necklace with rudraksha-style beads and gold ornaments, hoop earrings and a white tilak on his forehead, placing his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in hands-folded namaste. The devotee wears a white dhoti, an orange shawl printed with repeated text, and white tilak and white markings on his arms and chest. Behind them is an ornate gold wall carved with animal and floral motifs and a perforated lattice panel, and a gold throne-like seat is visible on the left. The moment appears to be a blessing or darshan exchange.2017-08-11August 11 20172017-08-11April 30 20152015-04-30August 11 20172017-08-11A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold ceremonial necklace of beads and a red bindi sits on a red patterned throne, smiling as he extends his hand to touch the forehead of an older bald man in a white shirt wearing an orange shawl with printed Nithyanandoham text; the older man bows with palms raised. Behind them stand a silver ceremonial staff and a golden serpent-shaped ornament, with green foliage and a wooden backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a gold bead necklace, and the throne-side setting fits an ashram darshan.2014-08-01February 22 20142014-02-22October 18 20152015-10-18Two men stand face to face in front of a gold-embossed wall carved with figures and a lattice window. On the left, a man with long dreadlocked hair, a white tilak on his forehead, gold hoop earring, gold beaded necklaces and a rust-coloured saffron-toned robe places his right hand on the forehead of the man on the right, who wears a white kurta, a saffron-orange shawl printed with script, rudraksha beads, and holds his palms together in añjali mudra.
