A photo of an indoor satsang-style session in a room decorated with marigold garlands and orange drapes. A man in an orange saffron garment with an orange head covering and a white garland sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne-like chair, gesturing with raised hands toward the audience. Several seated devotees on a red carpet face him with palms pressed together in anjali; women wear saris in green, blue, yellow and pink, and men wear white shirts. A small brass lamp and floral arrangement sit at the lower right, and a microphone stands in the foreground. The man on the throne is an appearance-based a person candidate given his saffron clothing, garland and throne seat, but the image is not certain enough to confirm identity.

A seated man in an orange robe and an orange head wrap sits cross-legged on a low white cushioned seat at the front of a room, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Orange and yellow drapes frame the stage area, with a golden deity statue and a framed painting of a goddess on the wall behind him. A seated audience of many devotees, mostly women in colourful saris and men in light shirts, fills the floor in front of him. Paper garlands with orange ribbons hang across the ceiling, and a man in a pinstripe shirt sits near the speaker. The image carries a yellow date stamp reading 09/01/2004.

A seated teacher in an orange robe sits on a white throne-like chair at the front of a room, facing a large audience of devotees. Behind the teacher hangs a large framed portrait of a figure wearing a white turban, flanked by a smaller graphic panel on the left wall and a horizontal strip of framed photographs on the right. Many attendees in white clothing sit on the carpeted floor and on folding chairs with blue, orange and green seats, while a few wear pale blue, purple and beige. A potted plant stands beside the throne, and an American flag and a blue flag appear on the left.

A seated audience faces a raised stage at an indoor organizer meeting. On the stage, a man in an orange robe sits cross-legged before a microphone stand, in front of a banner showing a woman's portrait and the words a person. A bald man in orange robes sits to the right of the stage, and a bald man in white garments sits on the left floor. Audience members in saris, kurtas, checked shirts and red tops sit on red carpet, seen from behind. Behind the stage are a gold-trimmed throne-like seat, white draped fabric with orange and gold tassels, and a potted plant. A camera on a tripod stands at the stage edge.

A seated teacher in a saffron robe and saffron head wrap sits on a white cushioned seat with embroidered edges, flanked by red padded footstools, in a whitewashed room with wall sconces. Behind him a large framed portrait of a smiling man in a saffron turban and rudraksha mala is labelled with a printed caption, and a blue sign reads Dhyanapeetam in English and Tamil. Seated devotees in white, cream, red and saffron clothing, some with jasmine flowers in their hair, face him on a striped rug, while women in sarees sit on chairs at right. A small bunch of bananas lies on the floor at left.

A photograph of a discourse hall with a seated teacher in orange robes on an orange-cushioned throne-like chair on an orange-carpeted stage, holding a microphone and gesturing with one hand. Behind him hangs a framed portrait of a similarly robed figure with long dark hair and a garland, beside a vase of pink flowers on a white podium. Dark red curtains line the back wall and a whiteboard and fan stand at the right. Audience members sit cross-legged on orange mats in white clothes and colourful saris, some holding bags and water bottles. A portrait labelled with a Swamiji reference is not legible, so the seated teacher is described by role only. Swamiji (probable) cues on the seated figure: long swept-back dark hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha-style necklace.

A photograph of a seated gathering in a hall with a raised stage draped in white and blue fabric with red floral garlands. On the stage, a golden throne with a red cushion sits behind a seated woman in orange robes with palms pressed together, speaking at a microphone beside a banner portrait labelled "Nithyananda". A bald man in orange robes sits on the floor at the stage edge. Audience members sit on red carpet with their backs to the camera, including a man in a red shirt, a woman in a red sari with a long braid, and people in white and cream clothing. Flower arrangements and a potted plant decorate the stage.
