A photograph from a Nithyanandoham event hall in Phuket, Thailand, showing a standing man in the centre with his palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed. He has a tall, swept-back dark hairstyle, a red vertical mark on his forehead, a long orange-brown rudraksha mala with a large bead, a gold necklace, gold bangles and an orange top, with a leopard-print wrap around his waist. He stands beside a brown leather throne chair. To his left, a silver trident stands upright. Seated devotees in orange and white fill the foreground and background, some with hands folded. Behind them hang framed devotional images and a red banner with partly legible text. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and orange clothing.
