A small home shrine on a wooden cabinet with a tiled floor. A framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a person with long dark hair in orange clothing. Beside it, a framed picture shows a multi-figure deity scene in red tones. A ripe banana rests on a white plastic container, with a small brass lamp burning and incense smoke rising. Only a partially visible hand holding a lamp or incense appears at the right edge. No other people are visible.

A man in a white cloth headwear with gold borders and bare upper body, wearing rudraksha malas and a pendant, holds a small oil lamp toward a shrine. Behind him on a brown leopard-print cloth stands a golden deity murti with multiple arms and a garlanded figure seated on a lotus-like base. Beside it a standing cardboard-style portrait of a smiling figure in a red-saffron robe and a red turban with white flowers, wearing orange and marigold garlands and a rudraksha mala, is labelled with a printed sign above. A gilded ornate throne-like chair holds a framed photo of a smiling woman in pink. A kalasha with lit lamps and a wall sign reading KAILASA KORATTUR is visible. Diyas burn on the altar and the room has turquoise walls.

Indoor shrine room photographed with the image rotated sideways. A priest in an orange-red garment stands at left, holding a small flame or lamp toward a golden altar. On the altar are three framed portraits in gold frames with red fabric draping below, and a small deity figure in a turquoise, jewelled garment. Above, a figure in white robes and a leopard-patterned seat sits on an elevated throne. Framed photographs line the walls at right, and a dark panel at lower left shows a painted figure holding a trident. The scene suggests a puja with an oil lamp before a decorated altar.

A woman in a turquoise sari with gold border stands at left, lifting a lit oil lamp toward a gold lion-form pedestal. Beside her, a golden seated statue wearing a maroon turban, layered garlands and a maroon-and-gold shawl holds a hand in blessing gesture, with a red flower in the other hand, set against a large golden lotus-petal backdrop. In front, a framed picture adorned with a garland sits on a black-tiled platform with fruit, pink lotus flowers and a small lamp, and a wooden table in the foreground holds a cluster of lit oil lamps. This is a shrine puja setting with a visible statue, not a living person.

A smiling woman in a white saree with a red-and-pink blouse stands at left, palms pressed together in namaste, wearing rudraksha beads and a bindi. Beside her, a large printed portrait on a wooden stand shows a figure in a red turban with white flowers and a feather, wearing a red garment and a marigold and white flower garland, with a cream shawl draped over one arm. Below it stands a brass altar table holding oil lamps with flames, a fruit plate, white flowers, and a small brass Shiva-like figure. Nearby are a brass shrine plate of flower petals, a brass lamp stand, a brass drum, and a small gold yantra on a red base. A tall ornate mirror hangs on the left wall.

A priest in a white turban with gold border and rudraksha malas performs an aarti with a lit oil lamp in a shrine room with turquoise walls. On the left, a gilded multi-armed deity murti with garlands sits above a leopard-print cloth. In the centre, a printed portrait of a smiling figure in a pink-and-red robe and rudraksha mala is garlanded in orange flowers; the figure's face is not clearly identifiable, and the portrait is not a clear a person candidate, so a person is unsure. On the right, a gilded altar niche holds a framed photograph and yellow flowers. A small banner on the wall reads KAILASA KORATTUR BHARAT.

A photograph of a shrine room where a bare-chested priest with a white forehead mark and rudraksha malas, seated at left, tends a small oil lamp in front of a gilded throne. Beside him stands a life-size cutout-style printed figure of a seated man in a red robe, wearing a red and white turban-like headpiece and an orange garland, with a rudraksha mala. Behind a gilded deity murti with a multi-armed halo, a leopard-print cloth covers the altar table, which holds lamps, a garland and small brass vessels. On the wall, framed prints show a goddess in a blue-and-white setting and a seated man in orange garments, with a lit candle stand. A signboard above reads KAILASA KORATTUR. Only the priest is a physical person in the scene.

A photograph of a home shrine where a woman in a red garment lights a tray of oil lamps before a large printed portrait. The portrait shows a smiling bearded man in a red turban, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha-style beads and a raised hand, adorned with garlands of yellow and pink flowers. Beside it stands a gilded deity murti decorated with red and gold cloth, a golden canopy shrine holding fruit, and a small brass figure in the lower left wrapped in gold ornaments. The woman is the only physical person visible; the portrait is a depiction on paper.

A woman in a blue sari with gold bangles performs aarti at a home shrine, holding a brass thali with a lit oil lamp, flowers and sweets. Beside her a man in glasses and another person stand at a white-draped table with fruit, sweets and small brass lamps. Behind them a framed portrait of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala is garlanded with yellow marigolds and white flowers; the portrait's caption reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda in part. The photo appears taken at a devotee's home puja.
