October 23 20152015-10-23A photograph of a large indoor satsang hall with warm ceiling lights and wood-panelled walls. In the foreground at right, a smiling figure in an ornate red and gold embroidered robe, wearing a tall gold crown, a gold necklace with green stone and long garlands, stands beside a gilded throne with a gold canopy. Behind and around him, many devotees in white and red garlanded shawls sit and stand, pressing palms together in anjali. A woman in a red sari with a bindi and a man in white with a mala are prominent among them, with a few marigold garlands visible. The scene reads as a formal welcome to a seated spiritual leader in a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam satsang, with the throne and canopy indicating honour. The crowd looks large, numbering more than twenty.2014-05-10December 12 20172017-12-12A bearded man with a red-and-gold turban bearing a crescent moon ornament sits on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat, smiling as he gestures with his right hand. He wears an orange-saffron robe and a thick brown rudraksha mala with a large gold pendant. Beside him stands a tall silver staff with a trident-like top, and a small microphone rests on a draped table. Around him, a large seated audience of men and women in saffron, orange and colourful clothing fills the hall, and a projection screen shows pink imagery at upper left.
