A photograph on a stage with a warm orange and pink draped backdrop, a palm plant at left, and a sign reading "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" at top. A seated person in flowing saffron-orange robes with shoulder-length swept-back dark hair sits in front of an ornate orange-cushioned throne and touches the forehead of a bald older man in a white shirt, who bows with hands joined. At left, a man in orange robes with a long beaded mala stands looking down. At right, an older woman with white hair in a striped top sits with hands folded in namaste. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only loosely, so identity is unsure.

A photograph of a stage event with an orange-draped throne. A long-haired man in orange saffron robes sits on the ornate orange throne, smiling, with his right hand placed on the forehead of an older man in a white short-sleeved shirt who bows his head. Behind them a backdrop shows a banner reading Paramahamsa Nithyananda. On the left a man in orange clothing with a rudraksha mala stands beside the older man, and on the right an elderly woman in grey hair sits with palms pressed together in namaste. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, orange robes and a rudraksha-style mala cue, while the people around him are devotees.

A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair, seated on an orange-cushioned throne with a red cushion behind. Their bare feet rest on a brown mat while an elderly white-haired woman in a teal and maroon sari with a white flower in her hair kneels and bows over their foot, hands cupped. A woman in a cream sari with orange border stands bending beside her, touching the kneeling woman's shoulder. A man in white shirt and red-pink dhoti stands at the left edge; a person in white holds a camera at the upper right. Behind them stand a stone temple wall, a brass kalasha-style lamp and a red railing. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in orange with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange throne fits the candidate cues.

A seated man in orange robes sits on an ornate orange-cushioned throne-style chair with carved dark wood armrests and a tall back, reading a sheet of white paper held in both hands. A red bindi marks his forehead and his hair is worn long and swept back. Standing to his left, a bald older man in a white long-sleeved kurta reaches out to shake his hand or offer a greeting. On the right, a woman in a pink and cream patterned sari with gold bangles sits beside the throne, holding papers. Behind them hangs a pink backdrop with a partly visible banner reading Paramahamsa N Nithyananda. Probable Swamiji is seated in the orange robes, with a red bindi and long swept-back hair, and is the figure on the throne. Three people are visible.

A seated figure in long, flowing saffron-orange robes with long dark wavy hair and a gold-bead necklace leans forward, smiling, and rests a hand on an elderly man in a white shirt who kneels before them. A second man in a white shirt and white dhoti, wearing a rudraksha-style bead mala and a round blue rosette badge bearing a portrait, stands behind and touches the kneeling man's head. Another person in white and orange is partly visible at the top right. Behind them stand a carved stone relief panel with figures and brass ornamental railings with lamps, and an orange wall. The saffron-robed figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and gold-bead adornments, consistent with a person, seated in a blessing role.
