A crowded indoor photograph in a white arched temple hall with a blue-framed wall niche holding a painted deity image. At the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair wears a red-brown shawl and a garland of pink flowers, holding a ceremonial staff and a dark-red cloth. Around him devotees in saffron and orange robes and orange turbans press close; a woman in white with dark-rimmed glasses stands at right and an older woman in white sits near the centre-left. A man in a pink turban appears at right. Watermarked text reads Nithyananda Peetham, placed on the lower photo area. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by long swept-back hair, a garland, a shawl and ceremonial staff; this is a visual cue only.

Another bald man in white stands behind, and a few partially visible people are at the edges. The honoured man wears a rudraksha-style necklace and red flower strands. The setting appears to be an indoor reception. The garlanded man's appearance (long-haired cues) is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.2012-05-10 +1 copiesPhoto 11731358 +2 copiesMay 31 20122012-05-31 +1 copiesA central man stands in an indoor hall with arms slightly bent, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long multi-strand garland of white and pink flowers, a gold necklace with a round pendant, and rudraksha beads. Around him, several men in saffron robes and shaved heads stand or gesture, one in white at left, and a sannyasi at right holds a white item. The walls are cream with arched ornamental trim and there is a red-and-gold chair behind. The centre figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and ceremonial adornments, which is a person candidate; the surrounding men are devotees or sannyasis in saffron clothing. The hall has a wooden floor and a ceremonial, festive atmosphere.2012-05-31May 10 20122012-05-10 +1 copiesMay 31 20122012-05-31 +1 copiesMay 06 20122012-05-06 +1 copiesMay 31 20122012-05-31 +1 copiesAugust 20 20122012-08-20 +2 copies
