A group photograph on an orange-carpeted stage in front of a painted blue and gold temple-style backdrop with a tall arched doorway and deity figures. About two dozen people stand in rows, many garlanded with fresh flower necklaces. A man in the centre-right wears an orange shawl and white garment and a woman in a red sari stands beside him. Several children in pastel kurtas and dresses stand in front. Adults wear saris in orange, purple, blue and maroon, and some men wear white shirts and dhotis. Low tables in front hold trays of sliced fruit, sweets and offerings. A large stage-side banner with gold lettering and a purple-bordered cloth runs along the bottom edge. Curtains in maroon frame the stage and a ceiling fan hangs above.

September 15 20132013-09-15 +1 copiesGroup photograph on a temple-style stage with a turquoise backdrop decorated with golden arches, pink and gold ornaments and painted guardian figures. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange-gold garment and a flower garland, standing among a large group of adults and children in saris, kurtas and shirts; the saris include maroon, purple, orange and red tones. Platters of fruit, flowers and offerings sit on the orange stage floor in front. Ceiling fans and a red curtain frame the scene. The central figure has long dark hair and orange-gold clothing with a garland, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a central garlanded figure.2013-09-15September 15 20132013-09-15September 15 20132013-09-15September 15 20132013-09-15September 15 20132013-09-15September 15 20132013-09-15September 15 20132013-09-15September 15 20132013-09-15September 15 20132013-09-15 +1 copiesA group photograph on a decorated stage at what appears to be a Hindu ceremony, with a painted blue-and-pink backdrop showing two large golden-orange deity figures with raised arms flanking a central doorway. In the centre, a bare-chested man in a saffron-orange dhoti with a gold necklace and red-and-white flower garland stands between a woman in a blue-and-gold sari with a red garland and a man in a white kurta and dhoti with a red garland. Around them stand about a dozen women in silk saris of purple, magenta, teal, maroon and orange, plus children and a teenage boy in white. A tray of fruit, flowers and offerings sits on the orange floor cloth in front, with a brass lamp among the plates. The printed banner at the bottom edge reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. The man in saffron may match the a person appearance cues, but the identification is uncertain, so the a person field is unsure.2013-09-15Group photograph on an orange-carpeted stage in front of a painted blue temple-style backdrop with pink and gold ornaments and two large deity murti figures with crowns. A central couple stands together: a woman in a blue-and-gold sari with a red garland, a woman in a red-brown sari with a gold necklace and red garland holding a small object, and a man in white dhoti and kurta with a red garland. Around them stand about twenty devotees in orange and rust-coloured saris and dhotis, many with rudraksha malas and shaved heads. Fruit, flowers and offering plates are arranged on the stage floor in front.2013-09-15
