A photograph of an indoor ashram hall at night with a digital clock on a table reading 9:33 and orange cloth draped in the background. In the foreground, a man in a sleeveless red-orange robe with long swept-back hair sits and smiles toward a devotee in a white shirt and white trousers with a rudraksha mala, who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Several other men in white and in saffron-orange robes stand around them, and yellow marigold garlands hang at the right edge. Blurred plastic chairs and a balcony railing are visible behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in the red-orange robe with long swept-back hair and rudraksha is a candidate for Nithyananda Paramashivam based on these appearance cues.
