A photograph of a satsang setting with a long-haired figure seated on a gold-framed throne with red cushions, wearing a leopard-print jacket over a peach and yellow garment and a heavy gold necklace. He holds a silver tray of apples and purple flowers, while a seated man in a white dhoti and shirt leans in to take an apple from it. Behind them a bald man in white with an orange scarf stands, a man in white with rudraksha mala sits at left, and brass oil lamps with lit flames stand near a blue curtain. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure on the throne with long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-toned clothing fits the Nithyananda Paramashivam presentation, though the image is not fully certain.
