A small shaved-headed figure in saffron/orange robes walks across the dirt courtyard at centre, while a woman in a red sari and dark blouse stands at left beside a bearded man in an orange shawl. Several people in white dhotis and kurtas and women in red, green and pink saris move toward the open doorway, which is decorated with green banana leaves and colourful garlands. A tall wooden ladder stands at left and trees frame the right side.

A large outdoor procession of devotees walks along a dusty dirt path lined with young trees. Most people wear white or light clothing, with some in yellow, pink, green and blue saris and kurtas.

Behind the crowd stand a blue-draped stage platform and a red-roofed building with a signboard reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. Several people in the background are in white. Tall trees and a clear sky complete the scene.

A photograph of a group of about 30 people walking in single file along a dirt track beside a long orange corrugated metal wall, with gravel heaps and scrubby bushes on the left. Most are dressed in white kurtas, dhotis and pants, while several women wear saris and salwar in pink, green, yellow and blue. A few walkers wear lanyards and carry bags. The scene is lit by low evening sun, casting long shadows across the track.

Outdoor photo of a large group of people walking along a paved path on a college campus in Avadi, Chennai, with a multi-storey white institutional building, flagpoles with red, green and black flags, and tall shady trees behind them. Women in sarees in white, orange, purple, pink and green walk in the foreground, while men in white dhotis and shirts, and in checked and red shirts, follow behind. A man in a red shirt on the right holds a blue pamphlet. No single person is identifiable as a person; the crowd appears to be devotees moving in a line.

A photograph taken outdoors at an ashram temple compound with an orange-painted wall on the left and a red-railed shrine with gold ornamentation on the right. A barefoot person in saffron-orange cloth and a leopard-print shawl walks along a dirt path toward the shrine, with a green tree overhanging the scene. On the left edge, a man in white ritual clothes holds a brass plate of pink flower petals. Devotees in white are visible inside the shrine doorway. The walker is a single figure whose appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so no candidate is asserted.
