A photograph of a ceremony in a gilded hall. A man with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a large ornate gold necklace sits smiling on a red throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth and wreathed in yellow and white marigold garlands, with a golden trident beside him. Two men in white dhotis with gold borders stand before him; one bends forward with folded hands while another in white dhoti and bare upper body attends to the throne. Golden relief carvings of seated figures line the walls. The man on the throne is a probable Swamiji (Nithyananda Paramashivam) based on his long hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, shown in a seated honour ceremony.

A photograph in a gold-decorated hall with carved golden relief panels behind. A long-haired, bearded man in a rust-orange robe, wearing a red and white rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces, sits smiling on a golden throne draped with a red cushion and a tiger-skin cover, the throne garlanded with yellow marigolds and green leaves. A tall golden trident stands to his left. Two men in white dhotis with yellow borders, one bare-chested with an armband, bow forward to offer something at the throne. Rose petals are scattered on the floor.2016-07-19July 19 20162016-07-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure on a red-cushioned throne draped with yellow, orange and white marigold garlands and red flowers, in front of a gold-painted wall with relief figures. The seated man has long, swept-back dark hair, a crown-like gold ornament, a red-brown robe, a red rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, and rests one hand near his face while smiling. A gold trident stands to his left. Two men in white dhotis with gold borders bend at his feet, one with a shawl, both wearing rudraksha malas and forehead markings, apparently performing padapuja. A tiger-striped cloth covers part of the throne.2016-07-19July 19 20162016-07-19July 19 20162016-07-19 +1 copiesA ceremonial stage with a golden relief wall behind it. A seated figure on a red-cushioned golden throne is framed by a canopy of yellow marigold garlands and green and red floral strands, with a red cloth and a golden chair. The seated person wears a rudraksha mala, a long red garland and a gold necklace, with long swept-back dark hair and a crown-like ornament, and is smiling. A trident stands at left beside a kneeling attendant in white dhoti and shawl. At right, a standing attendant in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl holds a sacred cord. Another seated person in orange garments sits at lower right. Several people are visible; the setting suggests a formal honouring ceremony.2016-07-19A photograph of a ceremonial stage with a gold-embossed backdrop. A seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair wears a rust-red wrap, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces, smiling with eyes closed and one hand near the chin. Behind him a red velvet seat with a tiger-skin cushion is framed by yellow and white flower garlands. Two priests in white dhotis with yellow borders stand at right, one bending forward and the other offering a garland. A trident stands at left and a cooler unit sits near the edge. The figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha and gold adornments, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, seated on the throne during a garland offering.2016-07-19July 19 20162016-07-19January 13 20152015-01-13July 19 20162016-07-19December 12 20162016-12-12July 19 20162016-07-19
