A photograph of an indoor scene in a bright room with a gold-and-orange chair. On the left, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti sits on an orange cushioned chair, holding a red apple in one hand and extending the other toward a bare-chested man in an orange-brown cloth with long hair and multiple gold beaded necklaces, who sits on a gold-trimmed chair with his palms open and cupped toward him. Behind them, a man in orange robes with rudraksha beads stands near a dark red box with apples on top. Another orange-robed man stands at left holding a phone. The setting suggests an exchange of fruit offering, a common gesture of blessing.

A seated man in long dark-maroon robes with a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold-bead necklace, with long swept-back hair, extends a red fruit or ball to a man in a white kurta who leans forward with cupped hands. Probable Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha mala match the Paramahamsa Nithyananda appearance cues, and he is seated in an orange-gold chair before a gold-embossed throne. A third man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and bald head smiles beside the throne. Behind them a red banner reads 'Satsang' in white script beside a gold arched backdrop.2014-03-08 +1 copiesA seated figure in an orange sleeveless robe and a white flower garland sits on a white cushion, holding a red apple and reaching toward a red tray of fruit and offerings. Facing them, an older man with grey hair and a grey beard, wearing a white shirt and white dhoti with red-edged border, bends forward with cupped hands to receive a red apple.

A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair, a red bindi, several beaded rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, stands mid-gesture while speaking, his right hand extended. Cues are consistent with the page's a person reference, but appearance-based identity is uncertain. Facing him in a white shirt, a man holds a small tray with a red fruit and a folded paper. Behind them stands a bald man in an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala. Red velvet chairs with gold trim and a draped red table sit at the right.2013-01-05April 30 20162016-04-30A photograph of a seated man in a white shirt and trousers, seated on an orange cushioned gold-framed chair, bending forward to hold the hands of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha mala beads who kneels on the floor before him. The kneeling man wears heavy gold ceremonial necklaces and has long swept-back hair; the figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes, and gold necklaces, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) in an in_person role receiving a seated devotee's gesture. Behind them two saffron-robed men stand against a plain white wall, one holding a phone to his ear. A red-velvet throne with gold trim is at right.2013-01-04January 14 20152015-01-14 +1 copiesJanuary 04 20132013-01-04May 12 20122012-05-12A photograph inside a room with a large gilded throne.

A cameraperson with a video camera stands behind. A golden lion-shaped object sits near the throne, and a framed painting hangs on the wall. The seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair and saffron robes with a rudraksha mala, seated in a throne role. Several people are visible.2016-05-04A photograph of a man in a white shirt and white trousers with his palms pressed together, bowing his head toward a seated figure on a gold throne. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron robe with maroon borders, a long rudraksha mala, and has long swept-back dark hair, and holds out a hand over a brass tray with apples and flowers.

A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange sleeveless robe, orange wrap and dark rudraksha mala, sits smiling on a pale green cushioned seat with red bolsters, extending his hand. A middle-aged man in a white shirt and green shawl bends forward to take a red fruit from him. Behind them stand two men in white dhotis: one bald with a gold-beaded necklace, the other bald with an orange shawl. A white fabric canopy and a wooden door are visible at left. The orange-robed seated man appears to be a probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, orange robe and rudraksha mala), so this is an appearance-based label only.2010-08-04April 30 20162016-04-30
