A photograph of a framed printed portrait of a smiling man with short dark hair, a vibhuti mark on his forehead, wearing a saffron/orange robe and a white jasmine garland with red roses, seated cross-legged with one hand raised in a blessing gesture. The portrait is labelled in part with a caption ending in "NANDA", indicating a Paramahamsa Nithyananda portrait. In front of it on a red cloth sits a brass tray with red rose petals, a brass kalasha-style vessel, a small lit oil lamp, and two plates of prasad, one with chickpea-like sweet offerings and one with a similar dish. The portrait is a printed depiction, not a physical person, and no physical people are visible.

Jun 21 2022 sripuram2022-06-21A framed printed portrait of a seated man in orange robes, his right palm raised in blessing, is garlanded with white jasmine strands, red roses and a yellow marigold tassel. He sits cross-legged on a patterned cushion in front of a banyan root backdrop. Before the frame on a white cloth stand a banana leaf holding small heaps of yellow, red and cream food offerings, two brass oil lamps and a matchbox, with a brass om stand at left. Colourful paisley fabric hangs behind the altar. No physical people are present; the seated figure appears only in the printed portrait, and the page's a person claim cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the portrait is a depiction with uncertain identity.2007-01-29 +1 copiesOctober 14 20072007-10-14A photograph of an outdoor altar set up on a white-draped table on bare ground.
