The black-and-white checkered marble floor is in the foreground.2008-07-10September 15 20112011-09-15A man in an orange saffron robe with a white shawl draped over one shoulder stands in a stone doorway of an ancient temple with carved relief decoration above. He wears a long rudraksha mala necklace and a red tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him, in the dark interior, a woman in a red patterned top and a man in white stand watching.

A red tilak mark is visible on the forehead. Terracotta pots with small spiky plants line both sides of the steps.

A framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure hangs on the glass wall. a person: the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a tilak, though the page does not state he is present at this event.October 24 20062006-10-24Photograph of a white temple entrance with carved wooden double doors held open, decorated with a green leaf garland and red-and-yellow patterned hangings. In the foreground a man with long dark hair, wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe and standing barefoot on grey stone steps, steps out of the doorway. Behind him, a man in a saffron-orange robe and a second man in white with a yellow shawl stand inside the threshold, and the bright sky and trees are visible through the opening.2010-02-04December 20 20092009-12-20A man stands in a doorway of a marble-lined interior, stepping down onto a stone step. He wears an orange-red garment with gold borders wrapped over one shoulder and around the body, a dark rudraksha mala with a silver necklace, a red bindi on his forehead, and has long dark hair. He is barefoot, and a golden object is partially visible at the left edge of the frame. The figure resembles the page's Swamiji (probable) by long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial saffron-toned clothing, placed in an ashram setting.2012-05-24A barefoot young man in saffron-orange robes stands on a woven straw mat on a dirt ground, head and shoulders draped with an orange cloth, a dark rudraksha mala hanging across his chest. He looks downward with hands at his sides. Behind him is a red-orange temple wall and a blackened ash fire pit, with a plastic water bottle and a blue mat nearby. A red sign in the background reads that this deity is undergoing an intensive consecration process by Paramahamsa Nithyananda for installation in the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Paris temple.

A red tilak mark is visible on his forehead. Behind him, another man in orange robes carries a red and black bag, and a person in a white sleeveless top and grey shorts stands on the steps. A woman in a green sari is at the right edge.

He has long dark hair, a white forehead marking with a red dot, and his gaze is lowered. Behind him stand stacked black tyre-shaped stone pillars, a dark stone sculpture and a red painted post, with leafy banana plants at the left edge. The image is a candid photograph, and the page's a person flag is not visually confirmed beyond the robed figure's appearance, so the identity is left uncertain.2009-12-20
