A small pink-walled room during a house visit. A figure in an orange saffron robe with a red-and-white garland stands centre, reaching toward a toddler in a striped green-and-white shirt held by a woman in a white sari with white flowers in her hair. Around them, several people in white dhotis and shirts and a woman in a red blouse crowd close. On the shelf behind them sit small decorative figurines, a parrot figure, and framed pictures; a television and religious posters hang on the wall. Six or more people are visible.

Indoor photo in a pale green room with framed posters on the walls. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robe and a white flower garland stands centre, smiling, with a red bindi, and a red dot on the forehead. Around him, devotees in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, bend forward or hold out hands; a woman in a white sari with a flower in her hair and a girl in a yellow-and-white dress stand nearby. A boy in white holds small red items on a tray. A framed poster behind shows a saffron-robed seated figure with raised hand, and another portrait shows a figure in orange. A ceiling fan and speaker are visible.

A photograph taken indoors in a plain room with pink-washed walls. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a large red flower garland stands on a red patterned mat, hands at chest level, with a swaddled baby cradled in white cloth held by a woman beside him. Around them, devotees in white and cream sarees with gold borders, one in a purple saree with orange border, and men in white shirts and dhotis stand close together, some with palms pressed in namaste. A young girl in a pink dress and another child stand in front. Wall posters show a goddess with lotus and a framed portrait hangs on the wall. The central figure appears to be a person, identified by the saffron robe, the flower garland and the long swept-back hair.

A small pink-walled room during a house visit, with a crowd of devotees dressed in white shirts and white dhotis. In the centre, a woman in an orange sannyasini-style robe with a red and white garland sits and holds a newborn wrapped in a white cloth while a woman in a red blouse and white sari leans in. Above them on a shelf are decorative figurines, parrots and a small framed picture. A television sits on a cabinet to the right, and several children and older adults stand around the edges of the frame.

Indoor photograph of a small room with lavender walls and shelves. A central figure wears an orange robe and red rudraksha-style beads, holding a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda"; the figure's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm identity. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to offer the framed portrait, while a man in a striped shirt and a woman in an orange checked sari press their palms together in namaskar. A woman in a yellow sari with a pink and white flower garland in her hair faces away, with a child in orange nearby. A small framed picture hangs on the wall and a wooden cupboard sits at the upper right.

A group photograph of a family posed indoors in a plain white-walled room with white floor tiles and a framed deity picture hanging high on the wall. A central seated figure in an orange robe with a long pink flower garland and a red bindi sits on a white cushioned seat, raising one hand in blessing. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at far left, an elderly woman in a pink sari stands beside a girl in a red top and white skirt, and a bespectacled man in a white shirt holds a boy in a blue checked shirt. Behind them stand an older man in a yellow dhoti, two women in white, a woman in a green blouse, a young woman in red and purple, and a woman in a blue-purple sari holding a toddler. Several people stand with hands folded in greeting.
