Inside a shrine room with black walls and a gold-framed portrait at left, four devotees perform aarti. A shaved-headed young priest in orange robes and rudraksha mala holds a lit lamp at centre-left, while a woman in orange-red sari with a mala lifts a lamp in the foreground. A woman at right in orange sari raises a flaming lamp. A large brass plate of kalasha-like offerings, flower garlands and small oil lamps sits on a gold-covered table. A golden lion-shaped stand and a tiger-striped cushion stand nearby, under hanging brass bells and a wall air conditioner. The framed portrait shows a robed figure seated in orange with a pale cloth, but no one is clearly identifiable as the person pictured.2013-06-19June 19 20132013-06-19A ceremonial aarti scene in front of an ornate gold throne carved with a lion-head armrest and draped with a white-and-black striped tiger-skin cloth. A framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" on the throne shows a seated figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala. Near the throne, a devotee in white dhoti and a shaved-headed attendant in white hold lit lamps and a kalasha-like tray. Behind them, women in rust-orange saris with white forehead bands and tilak hold lit oil lamps and stand over silver trays of flowers, fruit and offerings. Brass bells and a hanging lamp hang from the ceiling. The scene suggests an aarti or puja at the throne.2013-04-10April 10 20132013-04-10November 03 20142014-11-03 +1 copiesApril 10 20132013-04-10June 21 20132013-06-21April 10 20132013-04-10May 19 20132013-05-19September 01 20172017-09-01May 16 20132013-05-16December 11 20112011-12-11
