Outdoor photo at a healing camp. A man in an orange saffron shawl and orange dhoti stands centre, wearing a large garland of white and red flowers and sandals, smiling. Around him, men in white kurtas and dhotis stand with hands folded or reaching toward him; one on the left wears an orange shawl and a lanyard, and another on the right wears a rudraksha mala. A tall white banner on the right with a large heading and Kannada text advertises a Time-based healing event. Overcast sky, a bare field and a stage backdrop behind. The page does not confirm a person's presence, and the central figure's appearance is not distinctive enough to name him, so the role is described only as a garlanded man in saffron.

A man in the middle wears an orange-yellow turban and a saffron shawl, and another man in the centre-right wears a red and gold shawl. A woman in a yellow saree with a white flower in her hair stands at the left edge. Bare-footed people stand on a red mat under a pale sky with a blue and red pennant on a pole.

Outdoor procession on a dirt path lined with palm trees and a thatched hut, with a crowd of many white-clad devotees. A man in the centre wears an orange robe and a large red and multicoloured flower garland, smiling and walking barefoot-style in sandals. Beside him a bearded man in an orange robe and a gold beaded necklace walks, and several men in white kurtas and yellow shawls carry tall wooden poles topped with a decorated ornamental banner and an embroidered yellow-and-red canopy. A woman in the foreground wears a yellow shawl and a white forehead mark. A signboard behind reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, and the image is a photo of a ritual procession with a ratha-style parade.

Behind them several men and a woman in white and pastel clothing walk together. Marigold plants grow at left and a mound of red soil lies at left edge.

Outdoor photo on a dirt ground in front of an orange and yellow tented pavilion, with trees and a white vehicle behind. A central man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a red-and-white flower garland stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling. Around him people in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in a gold-bordered sari, and uniformed police officers greet with folded hands. A young man at left wears a yellow shawl over white clothes. Physical figures are sharply visible; the orange-robed central man shows distinctive saffron clothing, orange turban and garland cues, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in person.
