Nithyanandapedia
A photograph of a home visit in a plain white room with a small altar. A man with a bare, muscular torso wears an orange-red dhoti and a thick garland of red roses and yellow-green fruit (possibly limes). He is seated on a chair, smiling, with one hand raised in blessing, and a ceremonial staff with a metal head stands behind him. Seated on the floor in front are a bald man in a white shirt with a beaded necklace, a woman in a white sari with a kumkum mark and rudraksha mala, and young people in white. Two standing boys wear orange and white robes with rudraksha malas. On the altar, a framed portrait labelled Nithyananda is garlanded with red flowers, flanked by oil lamps; a deity picture hangs on the wall. A woman holds a lit oil lamp over a brass plate of flowers and offerings, an aarti being performed. A printed copyright line appears on the lower right.
