A seated man in saffron robes with a white and orange flower garland and a long swept-back hairstyle gestures toward a large framed portrait. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and a blue-and-green accent on the garland, and he is seated on a white cloth. The framed print shows a smiling figure with long hair in saffron clothing and a white garland, seated in front of a large banyan-type root structure, with the printed caption 'Paramahamsa Nithyan...' visible on the frame. Behind him, a person in white with an orange shawl holds the frame, and another person in orange sits at the left edge. The seated man's appearance has several cues compatible with a person: long hair, saffron clothing and garland, though the wording of the caption is partial. Portrait and seated man are both visible.

Beside him a man in white kurta and orange shawl holds up a framed print labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda", showing a robed figure seated in meditation before a banyan-like tree. Other seated men in white and attendants stand in a plain concrete hall with a fan and sound equipment. Flower petals lie on a cloth before the seated figure. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji (probable) in the central role, identifiable by long hair, orange ceremonial clothing and garland; the framed print is a depiction of a robed meditating figure.2007-02-24February 24 20072007-02-24A person in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap stands in front of a large printed portrait banner.

The printed picture is mounted on an orange cloth draped over a flat surface outdoors at dusk, framed by a garland of white jasmine and red flowers with green leaves. Palm trees and a fence are visible in the dim background. The printed picture is a depiction, not a physical person, and no other people are present.2008-04-03 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes seated on a white upholstered chair on sandy ground, wearing a large white garland with orange, green and blue ribbon accents and a rudraksha mala across his chest, with a red tilak on his forehead. Around him stand people in white dhotis and orange shawls, and a man in a black t-shirt printed with a portrait of a saffron-turbaned figure.2006-12-25A photograph of a seated man in a bright saffron-orange sleeveless garment with a draped orange shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala of dark beads and a red bindi on his forehead, with long dark hair swept back. He sits on a rocky ground beneath a leafy tree, smiling and looking to the side. Around him, several men wear white kurta-dhoti clothing with orange shawls, some seated and some standing with hands clasped. A woman with dark hair sits at the lower right edge, partly cropped. The setting appears to be an outdoor gathering.2008-08-03A framed photograph displayed as a portrait on a stand, garlanded with orange, white, red, and green flower garlands. The portrait shows a smiling man with long dark hair, seated cross-legged in meditation pose, wearing orange saffron robes and a long white beaded necklace with a gold pendant, raising one hand in blessing before a large tree with exposed aerial roots. Ornate gold frame edges and a dark drape frame the scene, with a rudraksha bead cluster at the base. Printed caption reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Swamiji (probable) cues appear in the printed portrait: long hair, saffron robes and a long beaded necklace, depicted on a screen-free print. No physical people are present in the scene.2011-01-01A smiling person in orange saffron robes sits on a carved wooden chair with tiger-striped cushions, placed on a patterned rug at dusk. Behind the chair stands a framed portrait of a long-haired figure in orange clothing, with red and white flower garlands draped over the frame's sides. A brass pot stands at the lower right, and a second person in orange robes is partly visible at the left edge. The seated person wears a red bindi and has long dark hair, and the scene is outdoors on a terrace with a dark evening sky. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron robes and a seated throne-like chair match the page's attribution, so the seated figure is treated as a probable candidate.2010-02-05A man in an orange sleeveless top with a white and red flower garland and long dark hair stands at right, pointing toward a framed portrait mounted on a pale wall. The framed gold portrait shows a seated figure in orange robes with a beaded necklace, one hand raised in blessing, seated before a large tree trunk. A partially visible person in white clothing stands at the right edge, and a green checked curtain hangs beside a window. A printed caption beneath the portrait reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The portrait is a depiction, and the man pointing at it is a physical person whose appearance is not confidently matched to the portrait.2009-09-10
