A young girl with long dark wavy hair and a red bindi sits close to the camera and holds up a turquoise card with a child-drawn picture. The drawing shows a face with closed eyes, a red dot on the forehead, blue hair and a red garment, surrounded by yellow sun rays and a curved arc of Sanskrit-style mantra lettering. She wears a cream top with gold embroidery, a black cord necklace with a round pendant, and hoop earrings. A small portrait is set in her pendant. The card bears handwritten labels reading Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Aalayaa.

A smiling young boy with light curly hair and a white kurta holds up two pencil drawings of a face wearing an orange turban with a red bindi. The drawings are held side by side near his face. Behind him, a hall with red curtains, red floor mats, velvet ropes and a few standing people in white and red clothing suggests a satsang gathering.

A photograph of a hand-drawn black ink caricature being sketched on white paper placed on a dark board. The drawing shows a smiling figure wearing a wrapped turban, a red dot on the forehead, curly shoulder-length hair, and a high-collared buttoned garment. A hand holding a blue marker is working at the lower left of the sketch, while another hand rests on the left edge of the board. The drawing is a depiction within the image, so the figure is not a physical person present in the scene.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala draped across his chest holds up a large white canvas on an easel-like board, a painting in progress. The painting shows a figure with orange hair and a red bindi, black hair falling down, a trident beside, rudraksha beads, and a red lotus-like mark below. The man has long, swept-back dark hair and white tilak on his forehead, and looks down at the canvas. Blue-gray draped backdrop behind. Probable Swamiji depicted in an in-progress painting session, with saffron robes, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala as the qualifying cues.

A black ink line drawing on a white sheet, showing a caricature-style portrait of a face framed by a large wound turban and curly shoulder-length hair, with a bindi on the forehead and a small nose stud. A hand in the lower foreground holds a red and blue marker drawing the outline, and another hand rests on the left edge of the paper. The artwork is a sketch rather than a painted or printed image, and the only person physically visible is the artist's hands.

The paper sits on a brown surface with a dark sleeve visible at the bottom left.

A close view of a participant's hands drawing a standing figure on a white paper pinned to a brown clipboard with a metal clip. The sketch shows a deity-like figure with a topknot, round face, layered necklace, a sash-like cloth at the waist, and a long staff or trident held in one hand. The drawer wears a red-orange garment and gold-bordered cloth, and another person's arm reaches in from the left over a striped mat with blue and orange tones. Pen drawing on paper; no visible a person depiction.

A crayon drawing on white paper of a figure in an orange robe with long dark hair and a red bindi on the forehead. The figure raises both hands palms-inward near the chest and wears a long rudraksha mala with a gold pendant. Blue crayon lettering and a stylized floral border appear at the top edge. A copyright notice runs vertically along the right side of the image.

A young woman with shoulder-length dark hair stands before a dark backdrop with a gold-and-red patterned fabric at the top. She wears a peach kurta with dark embroidered trim, a white shawl over one shoulder, a pendant necklace, and a red bindi with white dots on her forehead. She holds up a painted-style drawing on paper framed by turquoise card, showing a four-armed goddess seated on a pink lotus with a golden halo, holding lotus flowers. Handwritten letters on the frame spell LAKSHMI, and the drawing is captioned Vimala.

A smiling young girl with dark hair pulled back and a small red bindi stands against a black backdrop, holding up a painted artwork of Shiva. She wears a pale pink and lilac floral-print blouse and a dark pendant necklace. The painting shows a blue-skinned Shiva with matted hair, holding a golden trident, wearing a yellow-and-orange garment, rudraksha beads and armlets against a blue radiating background. The caption reads 'SHIVA The cosmic father'. No a person candidate is visible in the scene.

A black-and-white charcoal portrait drawing of a smiling man wearing a light wrapped turban and a small dark tilak mark on his forehead. Long dark hair falls over his shoulders and he wears a plain collared garment. The drawing is shaded in soft grey tones against a dark background, with a handwritten signature and date in the lower right corner. The image is a drawing, so no physical people are present; the depicted figure is a portrait and the appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so the a person field is set to unsure.
