November 24 20062006-11-24Outdoor event under a white canopy with a red and gold valance. An elderly white-bearded man in a saffron-orange dhoti-style cloth and white garland holds a silver tray, offering something to a smiling young man wearing an orange turban with a red tilak, a saffron-orange shawl over a gold-brocade garment, and layered white flower garlands with green leaves. A third person at the right edge wears pale yellow. Behind them hangs a banner with Tamil lettering and a portrait of a bearded man in white. The young man in the turban has distinctive visible cues (orange turban, flower garlands, saffron clothing) and the page indicates a person was present, so he is a person candidate.2006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24A photograph of an outdoor ceremony under a white tent with a red and gold valance.

Behind them a banner shows a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" next to Tamil text, with a bird logo at top left. The man in saffron has distinctive orange turban and garlands, so an appearance-based candidate is present, but the cues are only moderately distinctive, so uncertain.2006-11-24November 24 20062006-11-24Outdoor ceremony under a white tent with red and pink bunting.
