A single person sits cross-legged on a cushioned seat on a raised stage with dark curtains behind. He wears a long orange robe, has a tilak mark on his forehead, and presses his palms together in prayer with eyes closed, speaking into a microphone on a stand decorated with a pink and white twisted cloth. Behind him, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" shows a figure in orange seated against a tree trunk, with a red and white flower garland draped over the frame. An ornate carved golden wooden throne-style backdrop surrounds the portrait, and a brass lamp hangs from the upper left.

A seated man in white kurta with a dark beaded mala and a microphone speaks on the left, gesturing with his free hand. Beside him sits a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap, with a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, hands resting in his lap and eyes lowered. Behind them is a framed portrait of a long-haired man in saffron, decorated with marigold and white flower garlands, flanked by hanging orange and flower garlands. Oil lamps and a microphone stand sit on a draped white table; water bottles are at the lower right. The seated figure in orange matches the page's a person label on appearance cues of saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold, and is presented as an in_person candidate.

A photograph of a small indoor hall with pale pink walls and a tiled floor, where orange-clad devotees sit on an orange cloth. In the centre a seated woman in orange bends over a banana leaf and small steel cups set on a tray before a large framed portrait garlanded with white flowers and red and orange blooms. The portrait shows a figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, seated in meditation; it is a depiction, not a person present. A man in orange with a shaved head and rudraksha beads sits to the left, and another person in white sits at the lower right near a microphone stand. A dark wooden stool-like seat and a white cloth are behind the portrait.

Behind him a large backdrop shows a smiling figure with hands in prayer, flanked by potted palms, flower decorations and stage lights on a red carpet. Incense or a small offering vessel sits at the base of the altar.
