Photograph of a courtyard ritual with a seated man in rust-orange robes, eyes closed, a red tilak on his forehead and long hair, sitting on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion over a red floor covering. Two attendants in orange-red cloth with white ash markings on their arms and chests stand beside him; one holds a silver tray of pink and yellow flowers and the other holds an offering. Carved wooden screens and a stone wall form the backdrop, with oranges and a green basket at left. The seated man matches the page's appearance cues of long hair and orange clothing, so this is a person in person.

Photograph of a courtyard ritual. A seated man with long dark hair, forehead tilak and a saffron-orange wrap sits cross-legged on a gilded throne with red cushions, on a red fringed rug. Beside him, a standing priest in an orange-red turban and matching robes, with rudraksha beads and a gold armband, holds a lit oil lamp and a small metal vessel. Before the seated figure, a yellow-bordered square fire pit with flames and metal bowls, and bundles of offerings wrapped in white and striped cloth with flowers stand at right. Carved wooden screens and a brick wall form the backdrop, with a metal detector frame near the doorway. Pictured as a homa-style fire ritual with offerings.2018-05-29A photograph inside a brick-walled room with a wooden carved screen and a gold-and-red throne. A seated figure with long hair, a tilak and an orange-red wrap sits cross-legged on a red fur mat on the golden throne. A standing priest in orange-red dhoti and turban, bare-chested with rudraksha beads and gold armlets, holds a lit oil lamp on a brass plate toward the seated figure. Brass pots and flowers sit in the foreground beside a small yellow-rimmed flame, and a white metal-detector gate stands in the background. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, given his long hair, saffron-orange wrap and ceremonial seating on the throne, while the standing man is a priest performing aarti.2018-05-29 +1 copiesA night-time courtyard homa in a stone-walled space. A seated man in a dark orange robe with a tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne behind a fire pit, hands folded in his lap. Three men in saffron-orange cloths stand at left and centre: one in an orange turban and rudraksha-style beads pours an offering from a ladle over the flames, another in an orange turban and white-smeared skin holds a bell-shaped vessel, and a third with bound hair and a white-bead necklace stands beside them. A bright fire burns in a yellow-painted pit, with a brass bowl and decorated sticks at the lower right. A carved wooden screen and a white cabinet stand behind the throne.2018-05-29 +1 copiesA seated man in an ornate gold throne with red cushions receives an aarti from a standing attendant in saffron-orange robes and matching headwrap. The seated figure wears a deep orange-red cloth, has a white tripundra and red bindi, long dark hair, and his hands are folded at his chest. The attendant wears rudraksha mala necklaces and gold bangles, holding a flaming oil lamp. Red flower petals cover the floor beneath the throne, and a carved wooden screen stands behind. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (Nithyananda Paramashivam) given his throne, long hair, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha-style adornments, and the page states he attended. Two people are visible.2018-05-29April 11 20182018-04-11 +1 copiesA seated man in a rust-red and saffron-bordered robe sits cross-legged on a golden, ornately carved throne with red velvet cushions, on a red shaggy rug. He wears a white forehead mark with a red bindi, long dark hair and a beard, and has a red thread on his wrist. In front of him is a square yellow-painted fire pit with a burning flame and a brass bowl of offerings, with pink flowers and greenery at the lower edge. Behind is a wooden carved screen and a stone wall; a white DETEC metal detector gate stands to the right. The setting is a courtyard-style homa or yagna session. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-red robe and ceremonial throne fit the page's Swamiji reference.2018-05-29February 23 20172017-02-23May 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesApril 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesMay 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesMay 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, set on a red fur-like rug in a courtyard with carved wooden screens behind.
