Nithyanandapedia
A bare-chested priest in a rudraksha-beaded sacred thread performs a homa, holding up a silver ceremonial vessel with a white-cloth-wrapped top decorated with red and yellow flowers and green leaves. Behind him, an ornate golden arch and a red-and-gold decorated deity murti stand in the temple setting, with brass kalasha pots and offering vessels in the foreground. Readable text in the lower corners reads Nithyananda Homa and Nithyanandotsavam, 2021 - Day 9.

He wears a dark wrapped turban-style headdress, a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulder and body, and white ash-like horizontal markings on his arms and chest, with a rudraksha-style cord across his shoulder. He holds a tiered brass lamp stand with several lit oil lamps, ornamented with white and yellow flower garlands on a golden arch, beside a red and gold backdrop with more garlands. The scene resembles an aarti or homa offering. A printed caption reads Nithyananda Homa, Nithyanandotsavam, 2021 - Day 9. The visible identity cues are not strong enough to name the priest, so he is described by role only.2022-01-09ADIKAILASA on 12/30/20212021-12-30ADIKAILASA on 12/30/20212021-12-30February 19 20162016-02-19ADIKAILASA on 12/30/20212021-12-30
