A photograph of a white multi-storey building facade with a curved balcony and pillars, its entrance labelled with Tamil script on the upper fascia. Several large orange-robed portrait banners hang on the building: one on the balcony, two beside the entrance and one at the lower left, each showing a smiling man in an orange turban and orange shawl with hands folded. Two men in white dress walk toward the open doorway, and a man in white stands at the lower right near the entrance steps. Shrubs and a metal handrail sit in the foreground.

A photograph of a cream-coloured multi-storey building with a decorative floral pediment and arched balcony, draped with three large vertical banners. The two outer banners show a smiling young man with long hair and red-tinted tones over flower fields; the centre banner shows a figure in orange robes with a glowing orange background and the word "a person" in script at top. On the balcony two men in white clothes stand, one at the railing near the centre. Cars are parked at the lower left and right, and a few people in white shirts walk near the entrance steps and car park.

A photograph of the entrance steps of a hall with a sign reading Nithyananda Hall above the doorway. On the left, a large banner shows a portrait of a saffron-robed figure with long hair and a rudraksha mala beside Tamil text. Several people stand on the yellow-edged steps: two in white dhoti and shirt, a woman in an orange sari, and a figure in orange robes beside the doorway, with another person in orange in the background. A metal handrail runs along the steps.

Photograph of the entrance steps of the Sathguru Gnanananda Hall, with its name in white letters on the building facade above. A large yellow-bordered banner on the steps shows a seated figure in orange robes with rudraksha beads and a red tilak, meditating beneath a tree, with Tamil text beside it. Several people in orange and white clothes walk up and down the steps, including one in an orange robe carrying papers and another in white holding a pink folder.

Exterior photo of the white Srinivasa Mahal building with red signage reading SRINIVASA MAHAL above a stepped entrance flanked by potted palms. Tall bamboo scaffolding frames large banners on the steps: a prominent poster shows a smiling woman in an orange garment with Tamil script below her, and smaller banners with similar portraits hang nearby. A colourful rangoli floor design lies at the lower left. Two people in white clothing stand near the banners, and a person in dark clothing walks at the lower right, with footwear placed on the steps.

Street-level photo outside a building with a Dhyanapeetam entrance. Several large banners show a man in orange robes and orange turban with ornate necklaces, one labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" in Tamil and English, another reading "Dhyanapeetam". A pink-tinted banner above the doorway shows two smiling men in yellow turbans. Physical people in front: a smiling man in white kurta with a red tilak, and women in white saris with gold borders and orange shawls walking out of the doorway; a woman in a white sari holds a mala. The banners depict people, not physical people present. Physical people in view number roughly four to six.

Outdoor photo of a decorated ceremonial entrance at an ashram event, with a tent-like canopy above, banana leaves and a large circular portrait of a saffron-robed figure at the top. A multicoloured textile gateway reads NITHYANANDAM in blue lettering over the arch. A central figure in long flowing orange robes and a shawl descends the white steps, flanked by men in white dhotis and saffron shawls. A man in plain white clothes walks in the foreground at left, and a young man in white with an orange shawl stands at right beside decorative umbrellas. The central robed figure has long dark hair and matches the cues of a probable Swamiji: saffron robes, swept-back long hair and a ceremonial shawl, shown in person as he is being escorted.
