Outdoor photo on a dirt path beside a white-washed wall with a green-leaved tree in the foreground. A man in an orange-saffron robe and matching turban walks toward the camera, with a long-haired figure in orange behind him carrying a tray of yellow flowers. Another orange-robed person stands behind them, and more people in white and yellow clothing are visible at the right edge near the wall. On the wall is a printed notice board with a framed black-and-white portrait labelled NITHYANANDA and Kannada text. Palm trees and a clear sky are behind the building.

Outdoor photo on a dirt path under trees, with an orange-painted building and a palm-filled background. Three men walk toward the camera: the left one in a rust-orange wrap with a rudraksha mala, the centre one in an orange-and-cream dhoti with a large garland of white and yellow flowers and a cloth covering his head, and a third in white behind them. The page links the figure to a person, but his face and appearance are not distinctively identifiable here, so no probable identification is made. A white sign board is visible on the building wall.

Outdoor photograph of two men walking barefoot along a woven mat strip on a concrete path, in front of a red brick wall. The foreground man wears a plum-brown draped cloth over one shoulder, a long beaded flower-and-bead garland, armlets and bangles, a red tilak on his forehead, and his eyes are lowered. Behind him a bald man in a flowing saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, follows. The walkway has a blue-edged mat, and the scene is bright and unposed.

Outdoor photograph at an ashram compound: four men in saffron-orange robes walk along a sandy path edged with white stone, past white rangoli kolam patterns on the ground. The leading figure wears an orange turban and rudraksha mala, the next wears an orange turban with a mala, a bald man in orange walks in the middle, and an older man with swept-back grey hair in orange robes and a shawl follows at right. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and shirt, and two men in dark suits and trousers, stand near a white building with a wall board headed a person showing a portrait of a woman with a mala and a text panel. Palm trees, a bare tree and marigold plants frame the scene.

A photograph outdoors on a sunlit path beside green foliage and a white signboard. In the foreground a man with short dark hair and a red bindi walks with head lowered and hands clasped at his waist. He wears an orange-saffron cloth wrapped over one shoulder with a maroon edge and a long rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck. Behind him at the right edge, a second figure in saffron robes with a wooden-bead necklace is partly visible, with a red metal frame structure in the background.

A procession of robed men and boys walks along a dirt path between trees and an orange-painted wall. The man in front wears a gold-and-bead garland and a rust-brown dhoti with yellow borders, with gold bangles on his wrists. Beside him a bald man with a white forehead band and a rudraksha mala wears a rust-brown robe, and a young boy behind wears orange robes. Other attendants in orange and maroon robes follow, and a drummer with a large drum appears at the right edge. The setting is a campus with a football goal and green lawns. Two candidates for the front-walking figure are plausible from appearance alone, so identity is uncertain.
