Group photograph on a red-carpeted stage in front of a red velvet drape and a golden throne-like seat. A framed portrait labelled as Nithyananda Paramashivam shows a smiling figure in orange with a turban, placed on the seat. Eleven people stand and sit around it: an elderly woman in a white sari sits in a wheelchair at left, a man in white with a saffron shawl and rudraksha mala kneels beside her, and others wear white kurtas or cotton clothes with orange-red shawls and garlands. A woman in an orange sari and a woman in a deep red sari stand at right. The setting suggests a satsang or event gathering with ornate pillars behind.

Group photograph in an ornate hall with a red carpet and pink-draped backdrop framed by ornate silver-gold pillars. A seated figure in the centre sits on a large gold-and-red throne, wearing a saffron-orange wrap, orange turban and a long beaded necklace, raising one hand in blessing; a probable Swamiji by his orange turban, ornate ceremonial necklace and throne. Around him, devotees in white and cream kurtas and saris, many wearing orange-red shawls and name badges, kneel in front or stand behind, some in plain white and one woman in a gold-bordered sari. A trident stands to the right of the throne and a small golden figure rests on the armrest. Roughly a dozen people are visible.

A group photograph in an ornate hall with a golden throne backdrop, red draped curtains and pink lighting. A seated figure on the gilded throne wears an orange-and-gold turban, orange shawl, saffron robe and a beaded mala, raising one hand in blessing; a trident stands beside the throne. Around him nine women and men pose in white and cream clothes with orange-red shawls and red-and-white beaded necklaces, some kneeling on the red carpet and others standing behind. A standing man at the back holds a trident. Eleven physical people are visible in total. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in the saffron robe and turban on the throne, and he is in person.

A group of eleven people in white and orange-red clothing pose in front of a gold-framed portrait on a red-draped stage. The framed portrait shows a smiling figure in an orange turban and saffron robe. Several people wear orange-red shawls draped over white clothes and beaded or rudraksha-style necklaces. In the front row, a woman in a rust-coloured sari with a blue bead necklace sits centrally on a gold-trimmed red chair, flanked by women in white and one in a white sari with a gold border. Several participants are barefoot on the red carpet, and lanyards with name badges hang from some necks.

Group photo of six adults and one child posing in front of a gilded framed portrait on a red-draped stage with a red velvet backdrop. The portrait shows a smiling figure in an orange turban and orange clothing, presented as a printed portrait rather than a physical person. On the far left, a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari presses her palms together in namaste. Next, a bearded man in white kurta and pants with an orange-red shawl also joins his palms. Beside him, a woman with curly blonde hair in white kurta and an orange-red shawl joins her palms. In the centre, a young girl with long hair in white kurta and pants kneels in front of a red-and-gold cushioned seat. To the right, a bearded man in white clothing and orange-red shawl stands barefoot, followed by a woman with light hair in a rust-red top, and at far right a woman in a rust-red and gold-bordered sari with a rudraksha mala.

A group photograph on a stage with a seated figure in the centre on an ornate throne with a flower-garlanded canopy. The seated person wears orange robes and a red-orange shawl, with a large garland of white flowers around the neck, and holds one hand raised. Around them, about two dozen people stand in rows in white kurtas and dhotis or white saris, many wearing orange shawls, some with rudraksha or bead necklaces. A low red and cream patterned platform, a silver bowl with fruit and flower-strewn steps sit in front. Behind them hangs a large backdrop with a printed face, and ceremonial garlands decorate the sides. White plastic chairs frame the right and left edges of the stage.

A group photograph on a stage in front of purple curtains. A seated figure in the centre wears saffron robes and a gold-embroidered throne with a red cushioned seat under an ornate golden canopy sits behind him, with a gold footstool in front. Around him stand about a dozen people: several women in saffron shawls, some in white or patterned saras, and men in white dhotis and saffron or yellow shawls, one with a shaved head in saffron robes at the far right. A brass lamp appears at the left edge. Scattered petals cover the stage floor. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and a distinctive ornate look consistent with the page's reference, but appearance alone is uncertain, so he is described by role as the seated central figure.

A group of eleven people in matching orange-red shawls with orange beaded necklaces pose on a red carpet in front of a dark red velvet backdrop and carved wooden pillars. Behind them a gilt-framed portrait labelled with a printed name shows a smiling figure in an orange turban and orange robes seated on a red chair. Men in white kurta-style clothing stand at the back and women in white saris and kurtas stand and kneel in front, several holding hands or with arms at their sides.
