A photograph of a festival procession moving down a narrow paved path lined with palm trees and a grey concrete wall on the right. Many people, mostly in white clothes, walk along the path, with men in white shirts and dhotis and women in white saris. Several saffron-orange flags are raised above the crowd. In the centre a figure in white with a shawl is walking near a decorated umbrella-like canopy in red, blue and yellow, with a small palanquin or ratha-style structure beneath it. Onlookers stand on the left in colourful saris and salwar. A white tented structure and a building with a painted sign are visible in the background.

Outdoor photo of a long line of women and some men in white and cream clothing standing before a stage draped with pink, red and gold fabric and orange pennants strung between palm trees. Many women wear white saris with gold borders and rudraksha malas; several have hands pressed together in prayer or hold their hands at their chests. Some wear name badges on their clothing. A few men in white shirts stand among them. Brick blocks and sand lie in the foreground.

Outdoor gathering of devotees standing barefoot on a dirt path beneath a corrugated metal canopy hung with orange, red and multicoloured fabric streamers and a tall decorated wooden pole. Many people in white and cream traditional clothing, with women in white saris bordered in orange, green and yellow, stand with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. A man in a white and maroon dhoti holds a tray of offerings and a woman carries a small brass plate. Palm trees and small red-roofed buildings frame the scene behind them. No single person is clearly identifiable as a person in this image.

Outdoor ashram scene with coconut palms and a thatched hut. A man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl stands at left beside an orange-draped altar holding fruit, a tray and a brass vessel. Many people in white and yellow ritual clothes stand in a crowd; a woman in a white sari with a yellow shawl holds a brass plate, and a man in white holds up a framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure. Brass plates are set on the ground in front of the procession. A large banner shows a map and images of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. Behind, many people in white watch and photographers film.

A long queue of people stands on a dirt ground beside a white-walled building and tall palm trees under a pale sky. Many are dressed in white, including men in white shirts and dhotis and women in white saris. Others wear saris in green, red, pink, blue and yellow, and one man in a plaid shirt stands further back. Several women hold their hands together, and a man in a white shirt is near the front. The line runs from the left foreground toward the back of the scene.

Outdoor photo at a whitewashed temple-like building with a green banana-leaf decoration at its entrance. A long line of women in cotton saris stands on a dirt ground, many holding small metal vessels, hands folded in prayer or resting in front. In front, a larger row of men and boys in white clothes stands on the steps and beside a long white-and-red striped platform with a lamp-decorated table. A small child in blue is held by a woman near the centre. A man in white stands at left by the platform. Coloured umbrellas and a red-and-blue canopy frame the scene, with a tinsel-decorated stand at left and a white table with rose petals at right.

A large crowd of devotees gathers under a long tent with a red and orange patterned canopy and colourful bunting strung along its edges. Many women wear white or cream saris with gold borders, and some wear white or light blue salwar-style outfits, while men wear white shirts or a blue checked shirt. Several people carry steel vessels and buckets. Most people stand in dense queues and rows, with some seated along the lower edge of the frame. Long dark hair and flower-adorned braids are visible among the women.
