A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl sits cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, on a throne-like seat with a tiger-skin cover. He wears a long gold ceremonial necklace, rudraksha-style beads, gold armlets and wrist bands, and a red bindi. Behind him an arch of concentric rainbow bands of marigolds and rose petals in red, yellow, white, green and purple frames the seat. Golden lion heads flank the seat, and two painted standing deity figures with gold crowns and ornaments stand at either side. Pink and white flower garlands hang over his shoulders. A small floral offering sits at the base.

A rudraksha-style beaded necklace with a long orange-gold cord hangs on the chest, and a pale bracelet is visible on one wrist. The throne is framed by a arch of marigolds and yellow flowers in orange, purple, red and white bands, with a tiger-striped cloth draped at the base. Gold-tipped trident-topped umbrellas and a golden bird finial stand at the sides against a soft grey backdrop. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by the saffron-red robes, turban, long beaded necklace and throne setting, shown in person.2015-10-19May 08 20132013-05-08A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange turban and matching orange-red robes, hands pressed together in namaste, seated on an ornate golden throne. The throne back is covered in layered red, yellow, white and green flowers arranged in arches, and two golden lion figures flank the seat on a red tiger-stripe cushion. He wears a pink and white flower garland and a gold-toned necklace. Behind him hangs a deep red velvet drape. The figure is an appearance-based candidate for the presiding teacher (a person), seated on a flower-decorated peetha during a temple event, with the overlay attributing it to the Nithyanandapedia archive.2014-09-30November 25 20172017-11-25 +1 copiesA seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a golden throne flanked by two gilded lion heads, with a tiger-skin cloth draped on the dais.

He wears a long gold necklace with a pendant, gold bangles and a rudraksha-style bead mala at the neck, and holds both palms raised in blessing with a smile. Two colourful painted deity statues in orange and gold stand at either side. The setting appears to be a temple-style stage for a satsang. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces on a throne, consistent with the page's description of a satsang.2013-07-01July 02 20132013-07-02July 01 20132013-07-01A seated figure in a maroon turban with a small white emblem and maroon-and-orange robes sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a golden throne.
