Indoor healing session at a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam meditation and healing centre. A seated man in a yellow-and-white striped kurta, grey jeans and rudraksha mala has his eyes closed while two standing men in white kurtas press their hands on his head and shoulder. A brass oil lamp with a bird finial burns on a side table beside floral offerings, and a banner reads Meditation and Healing center beside a red curtain. No identifiable a person appearance is visible among the three men, so the figures are described by role only.

A man in a bare-chested orange robe with a dark rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder sits on a golden ornate chair; his long dark hair is tied back.

A photograph of a ritual touch in a hall with red curtains and a fan at the left. A seated figure in a rust-orange and gold-bordered wrap with a red-and-gold turban and a rudraksha mala gives a blessing, pressing his fingers to the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, whose eyes are closed and hands are folded in reverence. Behind them a seated priest in white with a gold-bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala watches, and two people stand in the background. The seated figure's shaved head is covered by the turban, and a gold-accented cushion is at the left, so the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm an identity.

A photograph of a shaded indoor hall where a kneeling man in white clothes has his forehead touched by a long-haired man in white with gold-bordered cloth on the right, who extends his hand to the devotee's brow. A standing man in white with an orange shawl and a dark bead necklace claps behind them. A woman in an orange shawl and white outfit stands at left, and another woman in a cream sari with gold border and a man in grey shirt stand further back near chairs and bags. The page describes this as a person Spurana Convention session in Houston, but the image itself shows no visible event banner. a person candidate: the long-haired man giving forehead touch wears white and gold cloth with no saffron, distinct from the orange-shawled standing man, so identity is uncertain.
