A village street in front of palm trees and a house during a Bhagavad Gita satsang house visit. A man in a white shirt stands at right placing a long garland of yellow marigolds and pink flowers over the head of a person in orange saffron clothing, who stands with head bowed. Behind them, a bald monk in orange robes and a white-clad man walk along the road, and a man in a light blue shirt at right holds his hands together in greeting. Parked cars, motorbikes, a kolam floor design, and a small offering tray are nearby.

Outdoor photo at a roadside signboard reading "Nithyananda Dhyanapeetha" with a portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban, flanked by a yellow-and-blue sign and palm trees. The signboard is draped with marigold and orange flower garlands. A long-haired person in an orange robe and a large white flower garland stands at the centre, facing the board, while a crowd of men in white shirts, sandals and casual clothes gathers around. A white plastic-covered billboard stands to the left under a bright sky.

Photo of a welcome at an outdoor entrance with pale flooring scattered with flower petals. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe with a red-and-white flower garland and a red bindi stands centre, smiling and extending a hand toward the crowd. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and a flower garland. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts and a man in beige shirt-and-trousers holding a silver tray with a kalasha-style vessel, red flowers and a green leaf greet the visitor. A white car and a building with columns stand behind, and a few more men in orange and white fill the background.

Outdoor photo at dusk beside a silver SUV. A central figure in a saffron-orange dhoti-style garment with long dark hair and a multi-strand rudraksha-style bead mala and flower garlands stands with head bowed while a man in a white shirt and light blue top bends to touch his feet. Other saffron-robed attendants stand nearby, and a man in white holds a tall ceremonial parasol with a decorated gold-and-red canopy. A woman in white with a flower garland in her hair holds a tray with flowers and a woven basket, and a young girl with hair clips watches. Palm trees and orange flags appear in the background.

Outdoor photo on a dirt ground in front of an orange and yellow tented pavilion, with trees and a white vehicle behind. A central man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a red-and-white flower garland stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling. Around him people in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in a gold-bordered sari, and uniformed police officers greet with folded hands. A young man at left wears a yellow shawl over white clothes. Physical figures are sharply visible; the orange-robed central man shows distinctive saffron clothing, orange turban and garland cues, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in person.

Outdoor photograph of a padapuja-style welcome in a street setting beside a parked silver SUV. A central figure with long dark swept-back hair wears saffron-orange robes, a flower garland of white and pink blooms, and a gold necklace, standing on a striped mat. A woman in a teal sari kneels at his feet, while a shaved-headed man in white with rudraksha beads on the left and a young boy in orange robes stand nearby. Women in yellow and white saris and onlookers in white shirts surround the group.

Outdoor photograph at a roadside arrival during the Jayanti Brahmotsavama celebrations in Bidadi. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a cream turban, wearing a long garland of white and red flowers and a gold-toned necklace, stands centre-left with hands clasped, smiling. A man in white kurta bows low to touch his feet, while a man in white stands at left and a man in a dark jacket with white shirt bends forward at right. Behind them, a woman in white sari with yellow shawl holds a brass tray of yellow and orange flowers with folded hands, and another woman in grey and sunglasses stands nearby. Red and yellow banners and a chain-link fence sit in the background under bright sunlight. The saffron-robed figure matches the probable Swamiji cues of a turban, saffron clothing and garlands.

A photograph taken outside a building with pillars beside a silver minivan. A man in orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair stands at the centre, wearing a white floral garland and a red-flowered garland, smiling as people bow to him. A man in a white shirt bends low and reaches toward his hands, while others in white shirts and formal clothes stand around. Two women in saris with jasmine flowers in their braided hair lean forward, and a young man in a maroon shirt stands at the right. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair and orange saffron robes with garlands, seen as a person being honoured by devotees, not a crowd count of the event.
