Group photograph of about twenty smiling adults posed indoors against a plain white wall with green curtains. A poster of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe is pinned high on the right. Seated at the front left, a man in a white dhoti with a gold border, wearing rudraksha beads, holds his hands in namaskar. Around him, women and men wear casual coats, sweaters and red or teal clothing, many with name badges pinned to their chests.

A group photo of about 20 people posed indoors against a plain white wall with green curtains. Many stand or sit with palms pressed together in namaste. Centre, a man in an all-white kurta holds namaste. Behind him a large red and orange framed picture shows a figure in an orange turban, and an older man in a dark jacket stands at the back. Women wear red, teal, green and plaid tops and cardigans; name tags are pinned to several people's clothing. On the far left a seated person in white with a rudraksha mala. On the right a smiling woman in cream and gold dress holds namaste. No individual's identity is established from appearance; the orange-turbaned figure appears in a picture on the wall and is a depiction, not a physical person.

A group of about sixteen people sit close together on cushions and mats in a living room with pale green walls. A white placard reading "JUAREZ MEXICO" stands on a stone mantel above a fireplace, with a candle, a framed picture and a small winged statue nearby. In the foreground a man in a white sweater and a woman in a white top and purple top sit smiling. Several participants wear white or grey sweatshirts and cardigans, and a woman in an olive-green outfit sits to the right. A stereo system and a red leather armchair sit against the right wall. No one in the room is clearly identifiable as a person.

A group of about twenty people sit seated on the floor and couches in a living room during a group meditation session, many with palms pressed over their closed eyes in an eye-covering practice. A man in a white shirt and a woman in a bright pink top and pink flower hair clip sit in the centre, while others wear white and grey clothing. A Mexican flag hangs on the left wall beside a framed painting of a woman in orange, and a white sign reading JUAREZ MEXICO hangs on the right. Flowers in a vase sit on a side table, and small deity images are on a shelf at top right.

A group of about fifteen people sit closely together in a living room for a gathering, many on a dark red leather sofa and others on the floor in front.

Women in red, grey, black, white and orange sweaters and a boy in a dark sweater sit in the foreground, and a man in a patterned shirt sits cross-legged at the upper right. Candles and flowers are on a side table, and a chandelier hangs above.

A large group photograph taken indoors in a conference room with beige ceiling panels, a wall clock and a red exit sign. Dozens of people, many in white clothes and rudraksha malas, pose in tiered rows in front of a purple banner reading Nithyananda Satsang style text and a portrait of a man in a light turban. A bouquet of white flowers stands in the centre, and a laptop and water bottle sit in the foreground. Some men wear orange or green shirts, and several women wear saffron or orange tops. The banner portrait is a printed depiction, not a physical person, and no candidate is clearly present in person.

A large group of about thirty devotees gathers in a bright, white-walled hall around a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure, decorated with a red and white flower garland and marigold strands. Several men in white kurta and dhoti stand at the back, some raising hands or making victory signs; women wear white salwar, sarees in pink and green, and rudraksha or bead necklaces. Seated in front, a woman in a red saree and gold jewellery sits beside brass puja items, a tray of fruit, a brass bell and a small oil lamp on a pink cloth. A young child in orange holds a banana, and children sit on blue yoga mats. The atmosphere is celebratory.

Group photograph of about thirty people posed around a central seated figure on a leopard-print-draped bed or platform beneath a wrought-iron headboard. The central figure has long dark hair, wears an orange-saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, and sits cross-legged with hands folded; the person's appearance is consistent with a person, seated as the honoured central figure. Around him, women wear saris and salwar kameez in orange, white, teal and yellow; men in white kurtas, dark t-shirts and striped shirts stand behind. A young child in white sits at right. Seated on a dark blue carpet in the foreground, participants smile at the camera, with a folded plaid cloth at the bottom edge.
