Behind him, a golden Nandi bull and gold-framed alcoves hold garlanded deity murtis in yellow and red floral garlands, with a larger central deity murti under a golden arch, and a red curtain backdrop with striped canopies above. Mic stands and small offering trays with fruit and flowers are on the stage, consistent with a satsang setting. The seated man has long hair and a rudraksha mala, a distinctive appearance cue, so he is a probable candidate for a person seated in the satsang, though the image is partly obscured and the identity is uncertain. The figure is physically present and the scene is a photograph.2017-11-29A seated man in saffron robes and an orange turban sits in lotus-style meditation on a red-cushioned throne (peetha) at the centre of a temple-style stage. Behind him a large gold nandi (bull) and a golden arch framed with garlands surround a central deity murti. Flanking deity figures stand in golden niches, one with a gold-and-red garment and one in a blue niche with red cloth. Two decorated umbrellas hang above the stage, and a red curtain backdrop completes the setting. The man's appearance is consistent with the page-referenced figure, though the seated person is not visibly distinctive enough for a firm identification; he is described by role as a seated teacher in saffron.2017-11-29A photo of a temple-style stage set for an evening satsang at a Nithyananda Peetham hall.
