Nithyanandapedia
A photograph of a darshan moment at an indoor event. A man in a light checked shirt and a woman in a beige top with long dark hair stand at left, bowing forward with their heads toward a seated figure. The seated figure wears a rich gold-brown brocade jacket over white, long dark hair swept back, and a red mark on the forehead; he is seated on an ornate gold-trimmed cream sofa and extends his hand to touch the foreheads of the devotees. Behind him a large printed portrait labelled "Nithyananda" shows a smiling man in a white turban and black embroidered jacket with a white stole. Red roses, green plants, a small gold swan ornament and a silver tray with money sit on a red-covered table in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair and ornate gold-brown brocade clothing, consistent with the page's account of Sarva Darshan.
