Nithyanandapedia
A photograph of a young man with shoulder-length wavy dark hair and a short beard kneeling with eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaste. A person in the foreground places a hand on his forehead in blessing. He wears a plain white shirt and a red-orange shawl printed with repeated Tamil script and a small rudraksha-style bead strand is visible at his neck. The other person wears a red bangle and a garland of pink flowers. The background is a dark maroon curtain with a white-robed figure behind. This appears to be a blessing or darshan moment at a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham event; no a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance.
