Behind them stands a bald man in saffron with a rudraksha mala, and a striped tiger-print seat is visible at left. A red curtain and an orange banner reading Dhyanapeetam and relief works in Tamil and English form the backdrop. The centre figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues, so this is a probable appearance-based match for Swamiji in person; the mark is probable.2012-01-04A photograph of an outdoor ceremony in a storm-damaged village area with fallen branches and an unfinished brick building behind. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes, wearing a rudraksha mala and a large ornate gold necklace, sits on a chair under a red, white, green and blue fringed canopy. Next to them, a monk in orange robes stands beside a white-clothed priest with a gold-bordered dhoti and sacred thread, who bends to attend the seated figure. A shaved-headed man in white clothes and a crowd of onlookers surround them, and a photographer with a camera stands at left. A saffron banner reads 'Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam' in English and Tamil, with a portrait of a smiling man with white hair on the canopy. The scene suggests relief work following a cyclone, with the seated figure presumably the honoured guest.2012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03January 04 20122012-01-04
