A rudraksha-style mala of beads hangs at the chest and a red tilak marks the forehead. Painted gold-and-red guardian figures holding clubs flank the stage, with potted plants and brass lamps around the dais. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe, beaded mala and seated on a throne, consistent with the page's claim that Swamiji is present.2013-03-17A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange robe on an ornate golden throne with lion figures, a tiger-skin cushion beneath him and a long rudraksha mala with a golden pendant around his neck. He wears a small tilak on his forehead, sits with hands resting on his knees, and appears to be addressing an audience. Flanking the throne are painted guardian figures holding maces against a blue and pink temple backdrop, with brass oil lamps on stands at either side.2013-03-26A seated man in a rust-red turban and matching red-orange robe sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion arms and red velvet cushions, a tiger-skin rug beneath him. He wears a long beaded mala with a gold pendant, and white markings on his arms and chest. Behind him are a tall wooden double door and painted pink and blue lotus-topped pillars, with a brass oil lamp to the right. The scene reads as a satsang hall setting, with a few cushions and a bowl of offerings at the left edge.2013-11-22A standing man in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl raises both arms and smiles, wearing a red and green flower garland, layered gold necklaces with a lotus pendant, gold bangles and a red bindi.

He wears a long pink and white flower garland, layered gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, with gold bangles on his arms and a red tilak on his forehead; his long dark hair falls to his shoulders.

He wears an orange-saffron shawl over his torso, a yellow-bordered orange dhoti, and a double-strand gold bead necklace of large rudraksha-style beads. He has a white forehead band with a red dot, gold earrings, and holds his right hand raised in a teaching gesture while speaking. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, ornate saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklaces and throne seating are consistent with the page's claim, so this is an in_person discourse photo.2014-07-11A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a red bindi, seated cross-legged on a gold-ornate throne (peetha) draped with a tiger-skin cloth in front of a painted temple wall. Two painted dvarapala-style guardian figures with flaming crowns, red skin and clubs flank the throne, and a gold-framed dark doorway stands behind. Gold lion-form armrests, brass oil lamps (deepas) and a gold footstool surround the seat. Statue-like guardians are not physical people. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) given the long hair, orange robe, mala and throne setting, a probable in-person presence.2013-05-07
