A photograph of an indoor room with a seated long-haired figure in white robes with gold trim and a gold-embroidered shawl, reclining on white cushions and smiling as he gestures toward a kneeling man in plain white kurta. A crimson cloth and gold cushion sit nearby, and a silver tray holds papers. Behind them stand a vase of red roses, palm fronds, white carnations, tulips, and a portrait labelled "Nithyananda" showing a figure in ornate embroidered clothing. Swamiji (probable): the seated long-haired figure in white with gold shawl and a red tilak mark, presented as a seated guru receiving a devotee.

A seated man with long dark hair wears a cream embroidered kurta, a red and white flower garland and a small red mark on his forehead; he smiles while touching the forehead of a standing man in a white t-shirt, who bends slightly toward him. Peacock feathers and blue and red drapes hang behind them, with string lights wrapped around a wooden pillar on the left. A silver tray with a red-bordered pink cloth sits in the foreground. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and cream ceremonial attire, so the appearance cues are consistent with a person giving blessing or diksha, though identity is uncertain.2006-04-21
