Nithyanandapedia
A photograph at an indoor event with a seated long-haired man in a gold brocade top and white shawl, wearing a red bindi, smiling and raising his open right hand toward a balding man in a brown and black checked sweater seen from behind. Both are on a gold-framed chair and a wooden armchair beside a basin. Red roses, palm fronds and a small carved wooden deity figure sit to the left. Behind them is a large printed portrait of a smiling man in a white turban and dark ornate jacket, labelled "Nithyananda". Two physical people are visible. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, gold brocade clothing, a shawl and a red bindi seated in an honoured position. The printed portrait is a depiction.
