Indoor photo of a group of about ten to fifteen devotees standing in a carpeted room, facing a large portrait on the wall. The portrait shows a man in a light tan turban with a rudraksha-style necklace and bare upper body, labelled as a depiction. In the foreground a man in a yellow vest and a woman in a denim jacket face the wall. In the centre a person in orange clothing holds a booklet and seems to be guiding the group, near a television and a door. The portrait is a depiction, not a person present.

A large banner on the left shows a smiling man in a pale turban and long hair, labelled with partial Nithyananda text. A person in an orange-red robe sits on a folding chair reading a book, in front of the banner. Around 8 people sit on the carpet facing him, including a woman in a pink top and a woman in an orange-and-red garment, plus a man in a striped shirt and a man in a red vest at right. A white cloth draped over a chair stands at left.

A photo of a seated speaker in saffron and orange robes with an orange turban and a rudraksha mala, speaking into a microphone on a stand at the left. He sits on a chair in front of a draped red-and-gold backdrop. At the right, a white marble statue of a seated figure in green robes and red-and-white garlands sits on a raised platform beside brass lamps, a framed picture and vases of orange and yellow marigolds and pink flowers. In the foreground, several young girls in red-and-white patterned dresses and a woman in white sit facing the speaker, with their backs partly to the camera.

A seated teacher in a saffron robe and saffron head wrap sits on a white cushioned seat with embroidered edges, flanked by red padded footstools, in a whitewashed room with wall sconces. Behind him a large framed portrait of a smiling man in a saffron turban and rudraksha mala is labelled with a printed caption, and a blue sign reads Dhyanapeetam in English and Tamil. Seated devotees in white, cream, red and saffron clothing, some with jasmine flowers in their hair, face him on a striped rug, while women in sarees sit on chairs at right. A small bunch of bananas lies on the floor at left.

A photograph of a seated person in a bright orange-red coat or wrap holding up an open magazine that covers the face, with a printed headline and cover photos visible. Behind is a door and a partly visible purple banner with the word Dreams and a partial name. Two people's heads are in the bottom foreground, facing away. The seated person wears a long dark hair style and orange clothing; the magazine cover shows a man in a dark jacket and a woman in orange. No visible evidence of a deity, puja or ritual; the setting appears to be an indoor room.
