Interior photograph of a multi-level circular hall with white columns, curved wooden railings and warm ceiling lights. A large dark bronze-coloured statue of a standing man in a suit stands on a tall pedestal at centre. Many people crowd the upper and lower balconies and stairs, mostly in white, cream and pink or red sarees and shirts. A bare-chested-looking man in a white dhoti and shirt stands at right by the railing, and several people in blue uniforms stand near the stairs.

A photograph of an interior atrium with curved white walls and a curved wooden handrail. In the centre stands a dark bronze statue of a standing man in a long coat and dhoti, wearing a garland of white flowers and orange-red blossoms around the neck, hands folded at the waist, on a green-and-white tiered pedestal. Several people in white and light clothing stand along the upper walkway and balconies behind the statue, some in saffron and orange, looking toward the statue. The room has white railings and a red-tiled roof edge visible through the windows.

A photograph of a circular white-railed viewing platform under a pavilion roof with open arches and green trees beyond. A dark bronze statue of a standing man in a long coat-like garment with a garland stands on a tall pedestal at centre. A small group of people in white and light clothing walk around the railed walkway, including a figure in a red garment and another in white. The pedestal carries a Tamil inscription plaque.

A dark bronze-coloured statue of a standing man in a long coat and dhoti stands on a green and white marble pedestal in a multi-level atrium. It wears a multicoloured garland of orange beads, white flowers and red blooms, with a large gold medallion at the chest. Hands are folded in front. Behind it, curved white railings and wooden handrails frame several levels where people in white and cream clothing, some with orange shawls, walk and stand. A small banner partially reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham. The statue is a depiction, and no portrait identification is made from appearance.

A photograph taken inside a temple or ashram building with a curved white ceiling and white columns. A crowd of devotees stands in a line along a white railing with a wooden handrail on a raised walkway. Several women in saris, including orange, yellow and maroon ones, and a woman in a white sari with a pendant necklace, stand at the rail, and men in white shirts and dark trousers stand at the right edge. To the left a dark stone sculpture and a green-tiled step are visible. The people appear to be watching something below the railing. Interior light is dim and the scene is overcast.

A photograph of a curved staircase inside a white building with wooden railings and a multi-level balcony behind. A person in an orange-saffron robe with a bright orange head covering and a white shawl with a garland stands at centre, smiling, while many men in white dhotis and white shirts surround them, several with hands clasped in greeting or reaching to them along the rail. Some men wear orange sashes. The people appear to be moving together on the stairs. The centre figure's dress and headwear are distinctive, and the page names a person as present, so a probable identification applies: a person, in person, walking among devotees in saffron clothing with an orange head covering and white shawl.

A dense crowd of men and women fills an indoor hall, packed shoulder to shoulder on the floor and along a railed upper balcony. Most wear white shirts, dhotis or saris, with some in checked shirts and colourful saris. In the foreground a bearded older man with a saffron-orange turban and bare chest, wearing a white shawl, sits among the crowd. The hall has pale walls, round pillars and wooden doors. No clearly identifiable a person appearance is visible in this scene, so the figure is unsure.
