Nithyanandapedia
A seated person in a red-and-maroon dhoti-style garment and a white-and-red flower garland holds a tall silver trident (trishul) upright while sitting on an orange cloth. A bald priest in orange and maroon, with a rudraksha mala, offers a brass plate of apples. Two seated devotees in white shirts join palms in namaskar, and a woman with flowers in her hair looks on. Behind them stands a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" with a garland, beside a yellow altar cloth scattered with red petals and shelves holding deity pictures and brass murtis. Rose petals are scattered across the wall.

A standing man in an orange dhoti stands at left. Several devotees in white shirts sit on the floor before a small oil lamp on a tray, with flower petals scattered about. A framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure and a yellow cloth-draped table appear at right. The figure's appearance is consistent with a person, given the trident, saffron-and-red robes, rudraksha mala and garland, though this is uncertain. The scene resembles a small puja or satsang gathering.2013-06-23 +2 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesJune 22 20142014-06-22June 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesA photograph of a padapuja in a small room with lilac walls. A man seated on an orange-cushioned chair, wearing an orange and gold dhoti, a shawl and a heavy red flower garland, holds up a silver trident (trishul) with his right hand and smiles. Ornate gold necklaces and gold bangles adorn him, and a flower garland hangs over his chest. Before him, a shaved-headed man in an orange shawl kneels with his head bowed, while a woman in an orange-and-gold saree holds white flowers and kneels with folded hands. Other devotees in white dhotis and shirts kneel or stand with palms pressed together, and a bald older man in white and an older woman in a green sari sit at the left. Fruit, including apples and mangoes, sits in a basket at the lower right, and a cooler stands in the background. The seated man is a person by his flower garland, gold jewellery and orange-and-gold attire, with a trident raised in blessing. Around nineteen people are visible.2014-06-21 +1 copiesA photograph of a home-style devotional gathering in a plain room with lilac walls. A seated figure in an orange-and-gold saffron robe with a long red and white flower garland and gold ornaments holds a silver trident and joins palms, smiling. Devotees kneel on the floor before him; a woman in an orange sari and a young man in white kurta lean forward to hold lit oil lamps and offer flower petals. Standing men in white dhotis and a woman in orange clothing with a shawl stand behind, hands joined. A silver kalasha with a green coconut sits on a side table, and a basket of fruit appears at lower right. The arrangement suggests a padapuja or aarti, with a seated figure in saffron receiving devotees.2014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copies
