Nithyanandapedia
A seated figure in a white ceremonial garment with gold border sits on a white-draped couch with red and gold cushions, a small red dot on the forehead and shoulder-length dark hair. Before him a person in orange embroidered clothing kneels on a red patterned rug with head bowed, touching his feet, a common gesture of reverence. A silver tray with a small dish sits beside him, and the backdrop shows a banner reading SHIVA SUTRAS with a Nithyananda Foundation logo. Vases of mixed flowers, potted palms, a standing lamp and a tripod camera fill the room. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), identified by long hair, white ceremonial robe with gold border and a seated throne-like position; the kneeling devotee is in orange. Two people are partly visible at the left edge.
