A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a red bindi, seated cross-legged on a gold-ornate throne (peetha) draped with a tiger-skin cloth in front of a painted temple wall. Two painted dvarapala-style guardian figures with flaming crowns, red skin and clubs flank the throne, and a gold-framed dark doorway stands behind. Gold lion-form armrests, brass oil lamps (deepas) and a gold footstool surround the seat. Statue-like guardians are not physical people. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) given the long hair, orange robe, mala and throne setting, a probable in-person presence.2013-05-07May 04 20132013-05-04A seated man in an ornate golden throne with lion-armrest supports sits centrally before a colourful temple backdrop.
