Outdoor street scene beside a paved road with palm trees and low concrete buildings behind. A man in an orange-saffron garment with a heavy pink and white flower garland stands at an open car door, smiling and extending his arm toward a crowd. Around him, shaven-headed men in white dhotis with gold-bordered shawls and beaded rudraksha necklaces, and women in saris and gold necklaces, press in with hands raised in namaskar. A white van and a yellow bus are parked behind. Appearance-based cues on the garlanded man are limited, so his identity is unsure.

A dense crowd of men and women gathers outdoors on a street in front of a building with a tree and a silver minivan parked behind them. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, some with lanyards, while women wear sarees in pink, red, mustard and blue. A woman in the foreground with folded hands smiles in greeting, and a figure in an orange top holds a video camera at right. A woman in a red top stands at lower right. The scene suggests a welcome or darshan visit, with people pressing forward toward someone not clearly visible.

Men in white shirts and dhotis, one wearing a rudraksha mala, surround him, and an older man in a green shirt and white towel leans in at the front. A woman in a green blouse and white garland is embraced nearby, and a man in an orange robe stands at right. A white bus and a yellow Tamil-language signboard appear in the background on a street.

A large crowd of people walks down a sunny, dusty street lined with shops and tin awnings, following a black vehicle whose roof is visible in the foreground. Many men wear white shirts and dhotis or trousers, while women wear saris in yellow, green, pink and maroon, several carrying flower garlands or offerings. A man in a grey shirt and dark spectacles walks at the front near the car, and a bald man in white stands among the crowd. The procession appears to move slowly through a town street with telephone wires overhead and a multi-storey building in the background. No clear a person candidate can be distinguished from appearance alone.

A dense crowd presses around a grey car at a street event. In the foreground a woman with long dark hair wears a red blouse and a white jasmine garland with red flowers, her hands pressed together in namaste toward a man in a pink shirt and gold wristwatch. Around them men in white shirts and white dhotis, several wearing orange shawls and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, reach toward the car and smile. A man in dark-rimmed glasses and a white shirt stands at the centre, and a woman in a pale green sari stands at the upper right. Orange and red flags and wooden poles rise above the crowd.

A photo of a silver SUV at a roadside crowd. A smiling woman in a red top with a pink flower garland leans out of the rear window and waves her hand toward a dense crowd of men in white shirts and dark trousers pressing close around the car. Several hands reach toward the vehicle, and garlands of white and orange flowers are visible inside. Yellow barriers and a few onlookers sit in the background.

A dense crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis surrounds a dark car outside a blue-and-orange temple entrance with a small signboard. A woman in an orange-red sari and a white flower garland in her hair leans toward the car roof, and a bare-armed woman in a yellow sari with jasmine in her hair stands in the foreground. Palm trees, a string of small pennant flags and several temple spires stand behind the crowd on a sunny day.

Outdoor street scene in a crowded village setting. A person wearing a bright saffron-orange turban and orange shawl stands at the centre, smiling, surrounded by many devotees pressing forward with hands raised in namaskar and reaching out. Behind them a silver SUV is parked, its windows open and people peering in. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand nearby as helpers. A banner on a stand behind the crowd shows a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" beside Tamil text. Banana plants, a flagpole with saffron flags and shop frontages line the road.
