Nithyanandapedia
A photograph of a devotee kneeling with palms pressed together in namaskar before a seated figure in an all-white outfit with a gold-coloured shawl draped over the shoulder and a gold-trimmed neckline; the seated figure has long dark hair, smiles and hands a small item toward the kneeling man. The seated figure is on a white-draped couch with red and gold cushions, a silver tray with small photo cards sits on a white table, and roses, white chrysanthemums and pink flowers fill the left side. Behind them a large printed portrait labelled "Nithyananda" shows a figure in a dark embroidered jacket, and red and yellow flower garlands hang on the wall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a gold shawl and ornate white ceremonial clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
