Nithyanandapedia
A man in an orange-red sleeveless top and orange dhoti, with long dark hair swept back and a white jasmine garland over his shoulders, stands at right gazing up at a large red and orange banner on a white frame. The banner's fabric is pulled back to reveal a portrait of a smiling man with a red forehead mark and dark rudraksha beads. Tamil text on the banner reads welcome lovingly, Nithyananda Dhyana, and Ambur. The banner sits in front of a grey breeze-block wall with open dirt ground, and a flagpole and palm trees are visible behind. The man is shown as a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, an orange-red garment and a garland, performing the unveiling of a banner for a centre in Ambur.
