A framed photograph of a seated man in orange robes with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, one hand raised in blessing, sits before a large banyan tree with aerial roots. The framed picture is ringed with a heart-shaped garland of white jasmine flowers and rests on a draped white cloth-covered platform. In front is a wooden staff with a small red flower tied to it, and a small garland-decorated tray holding orange and yellow flowers on an orange silk cloth. Two woven red and gold rugs flank the platform on a stone floor. No physical people are visible; the man appears only in the printed portrait. A Tamil caption is printed at the bottom of the portrait.

A framed photograph on a white-draped table shows a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala, long swept-back hair and a red bindi, one hand raised in blessing, against a backdrop of large banyan roots. A garland of white flowers encircles the frame. Before it sit a silver handbell, a leaf plate holding rice-based offering, two bananas, an incense stick and a black-and-silver oil lamp, plus a red-and-green incense bundle. The frame is labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" in print. Behind the table hang a red patterned cloth and blue-and-white draped curtains. The arrangement appears to be a puja or darshan altar. The printed photo is a depiction, and no physical people are visible.

A photograph of a shrine table set against a red-washed wall. A framed portrait of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and white flower garland, sits in lotus pose before a tree trunk; the portrait is garlanded with a red and yellow flower garland. Brass oil lamps on tall stands, a brass bell, a brass plate with flowers, a lit oil lamp and a yellow bowl sit on a maroon cloth. The portrait is a printed image, not a physical person, and no people are visible.

A framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" sits on a draped orange cloth throne-like seat before golden curtains. The portrait shows a seated man in orange robes with long dark hair, a red forehead mark, white flower garland and beaded mala, raising one hand. Red and white flower garlands hang around the frame. In front stand a tray of pink flowers, a banana leaf with offerings, a bowl of bananas, small brass oil lamps and a silver bowl. No people are physically present. The setting resembles a puja arrangement and is shown as a devotional display rather than a live ritual.

On the ground in front are two woven rugs with gold and maroon patterns, and a large white flower garland encircles a small offering arrangement with orange and yellow flowers resting on an orange-and-red cloth. No people are visible in the scene.

A photograph of an outdoor altar set up on a white-draped table on bare ground. Behind it stands a large framed print of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair, a red tilak mark on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a white flower garland over the frame, his hand raised in blessing, seated before a banyan tree's roots. The print is labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" at its base. Before the frame are a silver handbell, a plate of leaf-served rice and food, a banana, a small glass of water, a brass cup on a stand, incense sticks and a matchbox, and a red and green wrapped item. Colourful draped fabric in red, blue and white hangs behind the altar. No people are visible. The printed portrait is a depiction, and its figure matches the page's a person reference only by a tentative appearance-based label.

A framed printed portrait of a seated man in orange robes, his right palm raised in blessing, is garlanded with white jasmine strands, red roses and a yellow marigold tassel. He sits cross-legged on a patterned cushion in front of a banyan root backdrop. Before the frame on a white cloth stand a banana leaf holding small heaps of yellow, red and cream food offerings, two brass oil lamps and a matchbox, with a brass om stand at left. Colourful paisley fabric hangs behind the altar. No physical people are present; the seated figure appears only in the printed portrait, and the page's a person claim cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the portrait is a depiction with uncertain identity.
