Outdoor scene on a dirt courtyard in front of a white temple entrance labelled Sri Anandeshwara Temple. A man in a long-haired, swept-back hairstyle wearing a saffron/orange robe stands at centre-left gesturing with his right hand while speaking; he appears to be the a person candidate based on the flowing hair and saffron clothing, though his face is not used for identification. Beside him stands a man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl and a yellow sash, holding a small bag and papers, and another man in white with an orange shawl holding a paper bag. Behind them, a woman in a purple sari and two figures in saffron robes stand near a silver car. A tall banner behind shows a Kalpataru advertisement with a woman's portrait and a red calendar, and another banner with English and Kannada text. A red-and-white striped wall is at right.

Outdoor scene on a dirt path beside a silver car and a white-and-red striped wall. A man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange shawl over orange robes and holds a small silver vessel. Beside him, a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala holds a pink-wrapped package and a plastic bag. Behind them a man in white stands near a flowering shrub, and a monk in orange stands at left. A signboard above reads Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. The long-haired man in orange has distinctive long hair and orange robes, a person candidate, though appearance alone is uncertain.

Outdoor photograph at an ashram gate beside a silver hatchback car and a roadside billboard. A man with long dark hair and an orange turban wears an orange robe and sash, holding out his hands in greeting to a group of visiting monks. Several saffron-robed monks stand nearby, one in a pale peach robe with a white cap, another in a grey vest over orange cloth. A man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a folded paper stands by the car, raising his hand in greeting. Behind them, a building wall shows a white banner with red and Kannada text, and a palm tree rises above. Several young men in white and yellow clothes stand in the background.

A man with long dark hair and a red bindi stands beside a silver minivan with its door open, wearing a saffron-orange shawl and dhoti draped over his body and a long garland of red roses, purple and white flowers with green leaves around his neck. Behind him, a man in a yellow top stands near a pink banner listing 'Brahmotsava-2010' and rows of small portrait photos of people; a pink-framed portrait labelled "Sri Anandeshwara" also appears. A second man in orange clothing holds the van door at the left edge. Sandals are scattered on the dirt ground in the background beside a white temple-style building with a brown signboard reading 'Sri Anandeshwara Devasthana'.

A photograph of a procession on a dirt path at an ashram, with a silver vessel and offerings carried by attendants. In the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, a heavy gold-and-beaded garland, and a red bindi on his forehead. Flanking him, shaved-headed attendants in orange robes and garlands carry a silver pot with flowers and a tray of offerings, while another attendant on the left wears white ritual clothing. Behind them is a silver SUV, a palm tree, and a red-and-yellow canopy with tassels above a signboard reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam and Bidadi Ashram. A man on the far right in orange robes and a sacred thread is walking barefoot.

A photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard with sandy ground and a low red-and-white painted step in the lower right. A silver SUV with a roof rack, bearing a blue sign reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetha Mahasamsthana, is parked at left, with a driver visible through the windshield in orange robes. Two men in flowing orange robes walk toward the step: the nearer one, in the centre-right, has long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead and bare shoulders, with a saffron cloth draped over him; the other, at left, wears orange with red borders and carries a mobile phone. Behind them a man in white with a yellow shawl walks across the courtyard, and shoes are scattered near a row of red and white bollards. A wall with a poster reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeeta, Ganesh Road, Tiruvannamalai appears at the top left.

A roadside outdoor scene at a procession stop. A young man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-embroidered orange shawl, on the left, holds a brass plate of offerings and reaches toward a man on the right, who wears white clothes and a rudraksha mala and holds a blue-and-white book or folder. The devotee receives a small handful of food or prasad. Behind them a second person in white stands at a table with flower garlands, fruit, bananas and a glass jar, and a gold-patterned panel and parked cars are visible. A banner in Kannada script hangs behind the table. The young man has no visible long hair, crown or turban, so no a person candidate is present; he is a priest or sevak.
