A photograph of a person in an orange saffron wrap standing in an indoor corridor beside tall dark display cabinets with glass fronts. The person has long dark hair, holds a wooden walking stick in one hand and small objects in the other, and looks toward the cabinets. Inside the cabinets are a small radio cassette player and other display items. Above the cabinets a dark sign has gold Tamil and English lettering reading that Paramahamsa was in his young age. A white wall to the left has a small printed notice in Tamil.

A photograph of a museum-style display hall with a row of dark metal glass-fronted cabinets along a white wall. Shelves hold framed pictures, a boombox-style radio, a rolled scroll, small objects and a decorative tin box. A banner above reads "Paramahamsa in his young age" beside Tamil text. Two people stand at right: a figure in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back hair, holding a walking stick, looks at the cabinets, and a second person in an orange wrap stands behind them. The appearance of the saffron-robed figure is consistent with a person from the appearance cues of orange clothing and long hair, but the view is partial, so identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a barefoot figure in a flowing orange robe with long dark hair walking past a row of glass display cases in an indoor hall. A dark board with yellow Tamil-script lettering reads Paramahamsa in his young age, and a wooden table and brown door stand behind.

A photo inside a display room with glass cabinets holding framed photographs, small brass objects, a bowl and a jar. A standing figure in orange robes with long dark hair holds a microphone and gestures toward the audience, which is seated on the floor in front of the cabinets. Several seated people in white clothing and some with shaved heads face the speaker. Another figure in orange robes stands at the left beside a hanging balance scale and a sign. A banner above reads 'Things Used by Paramahamsa in his young age' in English, with Kannada and Tamil lines. The speaker's long hair, orange robe and microphone make the speaker a probable Swamiji candidate.

Two men in orange dhotis stand at glass display cabinets on the left, one in an orange dhoti and the other in a white shirt and grey trousers, looking at objects inside. In the centre, a long-haired man in an orange robe walks barefoot toward the camera, smiling. Beside him, an older bald man with a white beard wears an orange robe and walks barefoot, gazing upward. On the right stands a painted wooden peacock-shaped vehicle in turquoise, red and yellow. A printed panel on the wall shows a series of photos under the heading The Spiritual Journey of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, and a painted banner on the right reads Flowering of bliss. A printed sign in English and Tamil reads Things Used by Paramahamsa in his young age.
