Two men stand on a stage in saffron-orange robes, each wearing thick garlands of white, red, green and yellow flowers. The man on the left has long dark hair, a red-and-gold headband and a smiling face, one hand raised in greeting. The man in the centre has a shaved head with white tilak markings, a beaded rudraksha-style necklace and a bright smile, both arms raised high. Behind them is a large banner portrait of an older man with white forehead markings and a golden halo-like frame, flanked by golden lion figures and a red drape. A microphone stands at the right edge. The setting suggests a stage event with Tamil banner text.

He wears rudraksha malas, a silver pendant, a white tilak with a red dot, and a wristwatch. Behind him stands a second man in pale saffron robes, a saffron turban and dark sunglasses, holding a white cloth. A gold ornate throne with a radiating gold backrest sits to the left against maroon drapes. The setting appears to be a stage during a satsang, with the raised-arms gesture visible in front of the seated throne.2013-01-31May 21 20122012-05-21 +1 copiesAugust 21 20122012-08-21 +1 copiesMay 16 20122012-05-16Photograph of a temple doorway at night with two men in saffron-orange robes standing at the front, both wearing long white and red flower garlands and gold chains. The man on the left, older and bare-chested, raises both arms in greeting; the man on the right, wearing a gold headband with a red tilak, smiles and waves. A shaved-headed attendant in orange robes and a gold chain stands behind them, with another man at the right edge. The walls show carved stone and dark wood.2012-05-16 +1 copiesA photograph of an outdoor ceremony under a white tent with a red and gold valance. A man in an orange turban and saffron-orange robe with gold-patterned border, wearing a white and multicoloured flower garland, stands smiling while a woman in a yellow-orange sari with red border and a garland of white flowers and pink blooms bends forward toward him. Another woman in white with hair in a bun stands at left. At right a man in a yellow shirt is partly visible. Behind them a banner shows a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" next to Tamil text, with a bird logo at top left. The man in saffron has distinctive orange turban and garlands, so an appearance-based candidate is present, but the cues are only moderately distinctive, so uncertain.2006-11-24
