A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a gold-and-orange ceremonial necklace, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead, sitting on a red cushioned throne with gold carved arms. A woman in a white and light-blue ikat sari with a blue blouse bends forward to offer him something from her hand, possibly a betel leaf, over a silver tray holding green leaves and a white garland-wrapped item. Two women in orange-red clothing sit on a colourful striped rug to the left, one smiling. Behind them are informational display panels with photographs and text on a beige background.

July 15 20152015-07-15A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with gold borders on a red and gold ornate throne, smiling as he receives a small offering. He wears a long gold-toned necklace, a bracelet on his wrist, and a white vertical tilak across his forehead. A man in a white shirt with an orange-patterned sash and a headset leans in, holding a small glass or leaf offering toward him. A brass tray with green leaves and a small ritual object sits on a low table. Behind them, a woman in red and orange sits on a striped rug beside poster panels and a red banner with gold lettering. Probable Swamiji cues: a red and gold throne, long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a gold necklace, seated at a puja-style offering.2015-07-15June 15 20152015-06-15 +1 copiesA man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scrollwork backrest and a red cushion raises his right arm in a gesture while smiling and holding a thin stick or pen. He wears a red-orange garment with gold border, a long mala of beads around his neck, and a red bindi. Orange cloth lies on the floor beside the throne. Behind him a red banner with white and gold text stands in a ceremonial setting. Appearance-based cues including the swept-back hair, ceremonial gold seating, saffron-orange clothing and beaded mala suggest a Swamiji (probable) seated as the teacher during a discourse. A person stands on the banner side of the frame, but the seated figure is the main subject.2015-06-15A seated man in orange and saffron robes with a long gold-beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, his long hair pulled back, as a woman in a white outfit with an orange shawl kneels before him offering food from a white takeaway container. Beside him, a kneeling young man in white with an orange shawl and a tilak mark on his forehead, and a woman in a white head covering and orange shawl, assist. A large silver bowl of rice rests on a banana leaf on the floor, and a striped mat lies beneath. Behind them, exhibition panels and a banner read 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda'. The man on the throne has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and a gold-beaded necklace, a probable match for a person, though the appearance is only a partial match.2015-06-15 +1 copiesJune 15 20152015-06-15 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man on a gold and red throne receiving food from a woman in a cream sari with a rust-orange shawl and rudraksha mala.

Behind them a young man in white with an orange shawl and forehead tilak kneels on a striped mat, and another woman in white with an orange shawl and gloves stands near a display board. A red banner beside the throne reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda and The avatar & architect of the new enlightened civilization. The scene suggests an annadan or prasadam distribution at an exhibition booth, with a person candidate present by saffron robe and gold-chain cues.2015-06-15A photograph of a food-serving scene at an event booth.
