Nithyanandapedia
A bearded man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne decorated with golden lion figures, a red cushion and a trident-topped staff at his left. He wears an orange-saffron robe and a long multicoloured flower garland, with a red-and-white marigold garland draped at the base of the throne. Behind him, a large arch of yellow, red, green and white marigold garlands frames the seat, and a gold deity murti sits at the top. A striped rug covers the stage floor with scattered fruit and flower petals. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial garlands with a trident beside the throne suggest the presentation of Paramahamsa Nithyananda seated for a celebration.

He holds his palms together in anjali namaskar, a red tilak on his forehead. He wears layered rudraksha malas, ornate gold bead necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and armbands, and a garland of white jasmine and red and green flowers. Behind him are ornate gold carvings. The swamiji candidate has a compatible presentation with a turban, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person, greeting the audience.2015-07-26 +1 copiesDecember 23 20162016-12-23
