A photograph in a plain room with cream walls and a dark patterned curtain. A man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban, with a garland of red and yellow flowers around his neck, stands with head bowed and hands clasped before him, holding a wooden staff. A second man in a maroon dhoti with gold borders and a bare chest drapes an orange cloth over the first man's head, as a ritual honouring. A third bald man in a red-and-gold shawl stands at right beside a pink bundle and blue cloth on a chair. Visible text reads Nithyananda Paramashivam and Source . A low table and sofa sit at left. No a person candidate is confidently identifiable from appearance, so this is a role-based description

A photograph in a plainly furnished room with a dark patterned curtain and beige walls. A smiling man in a maroon-brown garment with a copper-coloured border stands at right, reaching up to drape a red-and-yellow flower garland around the neck of a standing elder in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange head covering, who holds a wooden staff. The elder has white tilak markings on the forehead. At far right a shaved-headed man in an orange shawl watches, and a pink wrapped bundle and folded cloth sit on a chair. Two people are visible in the scene, with a clear devotional greeting or garlanding act taking place.

Indoor ceremonial welcome in a room with burgundy velvet drapes, a bamboo screen, and a wooden stand holding small brass figures. A smiling man with long swept-back hair, a vibhuti forehead mark, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold-thread necklace wears a maroon garment and embraces a seated figure whose head is covered by a green and gold brocade cloth; that figure wears an orange robe and a white flower garland. Behind them a man in a maroon robe with gold borders holds a brass bowl, and on the right a man with rudraksha beads and a gold-bordered yellow shawl holds a pink wrapped gift.

A photo of an indoor room with a dark patterned curtain and pale yellow-green wall. A bearded man in an orange-saffron shawl and orange head wrap, wearing a garland of yellow and red flowers and a red-and-white cloth over his body, holds a wooden staff in one hand and a pink-red wrapped bundle or gift in the other. Beside him, a smiling man with a shaved head and white sandalwood tilak wears a rust-red robe with a rudraksha-style mala and a gold-banded cloth, gesturing with his hands. Another person in pale clothing is partly visible at the right edge, and a blue-covered table holds books and a folded cloth.

Photograph of two men in a plain room with cream walls, a dark patterned curtain and a sofa with a white pillow. On the left, a bearded man in saffron-orange robes and an orange head cloth wears a large garland of red roses and yellow marigolds, a rudraksha mala and a white and red tilak on his forehead; he is unfolding a red and gold brocade cloth. On the right, a smiling man with a shaved white-marked forehead and a dark-maroon dhoti and wrap, wearing a brown beaded garland, stands bare-chested beside him and holds the fabric's edge. Two people are present.

A photograph of a man with long dark hair tied back and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, wearing a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a brown rudraksha mala draped across his chest, gently draping an orange saffron shawl over the head and shoulders of a second man in a light orange kurta. A third man in orange clothing stands behind, partly visible. The setting is a plain lavender-grey room with a beige sofa and a pale wall. The man in brown appears to be the a person candidate; his appearance shows long swept-back hair, a brown mala and ornate rust-brown clothing, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.

A photograph of an indoor room with plain light walls, a framed devotional picture hung with marigold garlands at upper right, and colourful bedding on low cushioned seating at right. A man in a loose peach-orange kurta, with a long dark beard and rudraksha mala, stands at right lifting an orange and yellow marigold garland high above a seated-or-standing person in a red turban, gold necklaces and gold-trimmed red-and-orange dhoti. That person bows their head to receive the garland. At left, a bald man with white forehead markings wears wooden rudraksha beads and an orange-and-gold cloth, holding a zebra-print cloth and a phone. Another bald figure is partly visible at far left edge.

A photograph of a ceremony on a stage with a red draped backdrop and a gilded carved pillar. A man in a saffron-orange kurta and orange cloth, bent forward with his head lowered, is having an orange cloth draped over his head by a standing person in a maroon-red turban, rudraksha-style pink flower garland, maroon and gold robe, and gold bangles. The standing person is smiling. A bald head of another attendee is visible in the foreground. The setting suggests a honouring or blessing ritual.
