A large silver-toned statue of a seated deity, with a crescent-like ornament on the head and a garland of white flowers draped around it, sits on a pedestal in front of a tall golden tree with illuminated leaves. The tree is lit in orange and gold against a dark ceiling. Behind the statue, a deep red wall holds several framed display panels with photographs and printed text, and decorative blue-lit lattice panels frame the sides. No physical people are visible in the scene.

October 9th 2015October 09 20152015-10-09A photograph of an exhibition stall set under a large artificial tree lit with warm orange and red lights. A seated figure in orange robes and a red turban with a rudraksha mala sits on a low dark-cushioned bench, surrounded by framed panels on both sides showing photographs and text. In front, a second figure in a dark red turban and orange-brown robe sits on a white cloth, with a brass bowl holding flowers and offerings beside them. The panels are labelled in print and the setting resembles a display of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam events.2015-07-05 +1 copiesA photograph of a display centred on a large silver-toned sculpture of a seated male deity figure with a crescent-shaped ornament and a seated female figure beside him, both draped in white floral garlands. The figures rest on a rocky pedestal surrounded by small seated figurines. Behind them rises a tree with golden-orange artificial leaves, lit from within. The red-walled exhibition space has several illuminated scroll-style information panels with photographs and captions, and purple decorative lighting at the edges. No living people are visible.2015-10-08September 22 20162016-09-22A man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe and matching turban sits on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions, a pink-and-white flower garland draped over his shoulders and gold necklaces at his chest, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind him a large carved gold-and-brown relief shows a seated multi-armed deity murti with a crown and necklaces, flanked by stylised painted trees with white and gold foliage. A tall gold trident stands at left and a small table with a cup sits beside the throne on a red-carpeted stage.2016-09-23 +1 copiesA golden ornate throne stands before a large relief carving of a multi-armed deity murti with a crowned head and necklaces, flanked by gilded lion figures and an illuminated tree on each side. A seated figure on the throne, with a dark shaved-looking head and white forehead marks, wears a pink garland and a brown-red shawl. A devotee in a white top bends forward with a hand on the seated figure's shoulder, in a gesture of reverence. On the left, a man in a white dhoti sits beside a golden trishula, and on the right a standing person in white clothes watches. The setting resembles an ashram dais for darshan. The seated person's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2016-09-23October 05 20162016-10-05A seated man in an orange-red dhoti and a leopard-print shawl sits cross-legged in meditation posture on a leopard-skin-draped dais in a richly gilded shrine. Behind him a large silver-toned relief of a four-armed Shiva-like deity murti holds a trident and a book, framed by red drapes and tasselled garlands in orange, green and purple. Brass lamps and standing figures flank the golden walls, and a trident stands at the left. The man wears a red turban, beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and a gold chain, with bangles on his wrists. Striped rugs cover the floor. Only one person is physically present.2017-07-25A photograph in an ornate hall with warm orange lighting and two large decorative trees, one silver and one gold, flanking a central backdrop with a deity murti of a multi-armed goddess. A figure in ornate gold-and-red attire sits on a golden throne flanked by golden lion-like carvings, with a pink garland around the neck. A devotee in white kneels before the throne in an embrace-like gesture. Around them, people in white clothes stand and sit, including a woman in white holding papers and a man in a white shirt. A golden trident stands to the left. Such a figure may be an in-person candidate, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is described as a seated figure on a throne.2016-09-23Gilded deity murtis of a seated Shiva-like figure and a consort on a draped altar. The male figure holds a golden trident and a small drum-like object in raised hands, wears a leopard-patterned garment, rudraksha-style beaded adornment, a tall black hair crown with gold band and ornate gold necklaces. The female figure wears an orange and maroon blouse and lilac skirt, silver jewellery and a jewelled crown. A garland of yellow and purple flowers with green leaves drapes the front, with an orange cloth and a red flower at the centre. Deep red curtains hang behind the figures beneath a carved stone cornice.2008-01-12October 10 20162016-10-10
