A photograph of a whitewashed building entrance with a grilled metal door at Pancha Muga Dharishna Dhyana Peedam in Tiruvannamalai. A man seen from behind, wearing a white shirt, white dhoti with red border, and an orange cloth draped over his shoulder, stands at the doorway holding a small object in one hand. Above the entrance hangs a green framed poster showing two bearded, long-haired sages, one seated in meditation and one in orange clothing, with Tamil text. A dark signboard beside the door carries Tamil text and dates. Yellow triangular niches and red and yellow painted vertical markings decorate the wall.

Kailasa Paramparagatha Arunagiri Yogishwara Adi Arunachala Sarvajnapeetha Samrajyam

A photograph of an interior courtyard-style room with a corrugated roof and white-washed walls. A man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron shawl stands centre-left on a red-and-white floral-patterned floor, hands pressed together at his chest. A second man in plain white dhoti stands arms folded near a doorway, and a third man in white with an orange shawl stands at right, facing the central figure. On the wall, a blue banner reads Dhyanapeetam with a portrait of a smiling figure in a white head covering, and a poster shows a figure in orange-pink robes with a mala. Two folding chairs and a brass vessel on a shelf are visible.

A photograph of devotees in white clothes standing in a covered walkway with palms pressed together in namaskar before a decorated shrine. The shrine has a framed portrait labelled Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, a garland of orange and yellow flowers, and a central image of a figure in orange robes with an ornate display of flowers and lamps. Men wear white shirts and white dhotis; one young man on the right wears an orange-and-white checked shirt, and another on the left wears a rudraksha-style mala. The event appears to be a Guru Poornima padha yatra, with a banner reading the same beneath the shrine.

A photograph of a stone shrine with a barred metal door set under a stone-roofed open pavilion with granite pillars, surrounded by green hillside trees. A woman in white clothes sits on the steps of the shrine, head bowed. To the right, a man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl over his shoulder stands looking down on the paved floor, with a dark bag at his feet. Small offerings are placed near the shrine door.

Two devotees in white stand before the shrine: one in a yellow shawl over white kurta and dhoti with the back turned, and an older man with grey hair in a white kurta holding a mala. Brass lamps, a lit oil lamp and a white cloth sit on the marble floor in front of the dark inner sanctum, where a deity murti is faintly visible.

A courtyard ritual in front of a cream-walled building. A young man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala holds a silver lamp-stand with a flame, offering it to an elderly bare-chested man with white hair and a long white beard, wearing an orange dhoti, rudraksha mala and a wristwatch, his palms joined in prayer. At left, a poster shows a smiling person in a blue robe with a white turban beside a red staircase. A second person's folded hands appear at right edge. Text in Tamil script appears on the wall and a board.

The shrine has a poster-like board at top reading "NITHYANANDA DHYANAPEETAM" with a framed portrait of a smiling man in an orange-red turban and orange garment, one hand raised, beneath a garland of yellow flowers. Below it is a framed image of a seated figure in white and gold robes amid red and orange flower garlands, with oil lamps burning in front and brass lamps on the floor. A Tamil caption on the board reads "Purnima" in the lower section.

Behind them is a yellow temple-style building with triangular recesses on its walls and a dark doorway, with a small plaque on the right edge.
