Indoor photograph of a ceremonial darshan in a red-draped hall with ornate gold carved throne and gold-tasselled chandelier. A seated figure on the left wears an orange-red turban, white floral garland and gold-and-orange robes, seated on a golden throne. Beside him a bald man in orange robes, rudraksha mala and tripundra marks sits cross-legged, with a white cloth on his lap. A man in a red-and-white striped sweater and lanyard bows forward toward the seated figures, while a line of devotees in colourful clothes waits behind, including a woman in a yellow top with rudraksha beads and a older man in white. A gold staff stands near the throne. Attribution: a visible caption reads Nithyananda Paramashivam, not the seated figure. Probable Swamiji is present on the throne, with the turban, garland and saffron-orange robes as cues.
