A photograph of a long-haired figure in a red and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, bare-shouldered and barefoot, walking toward the open rear door of a silver SUV on a paved driveway. Two shaven-headed men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand to the left, one with a hand raised to his face. Behind them, a tall coconut palm with fruit bunches and a signboard reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam beneath it. The scene is bright and sunlit.

June 15 20092009-06-15December 29 20112011-12-29Outdoors at a dusty compound beside a grey cinderblock wall, two barefoot figures in orange robes walk past a silver SUV with an open door and a Nithyanandapeeta Mahasamsthana sticker on its windshield. The nearer figure, with long dark hair and a flowing orange shawl held in one hand, looks like a person by his long swept-back hair and saffron robes, while the second figure in orange with shorter dark hair stands beside him. Behind them a man in white with a yellow shawl stands near a stone fountain and rows of red and white bollards, with footwear scattered on the ground. A large printed banner on the wall shows a smiling woman's portrait and event imagery, with contact numbers and the text Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Gerusalam Road Tiruvannamalai visible at the bottom.2009-12-09Outdoor street scene in bright daylight beside a silver SUV parked under trees. An orange umbrella is held over a long-haired figure in orange robes with a bare-armed wrap and a copper-coloured armband; the figure is walking with attendants. A shaven-headed man in orange with a rudraksha mala holds a phone up, and another attendant in orange with a golden-bordered white shawl stands at right. Others in white dhotis walk in the background. The a person cue here is the long hair and orange robe on the central figure, but this is an appearance-based candidate only.2011-11-10Outdoor scene beside a silver SUV with its rear door open, palm trees and thatched huts behind. A bald man in an orange robe stands centre, a saffron-clad attendant with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace stands to the left, and a young man in orange holds a polished silver kalasha with a green coconut-like leaf and flowers on a tray, while another orange-clad man in a saffron turban stands at the left edge. Several people in orange robes and one in white stand on a dirt ground. The centre figure is bald and wears orange with no swept-back hair, crown or rudraksha cues, so identity is uncertain.2008-12-30September 26 20112011-09-26Outdoor photo at a sandy ground with tall coconut palms and small red flags behind. A silver SUV stands open at the centre; a bald man in saffron robes with a saffron shawl stands beside the open door, hands joined at his chest. Around him, saffron-clad attendants face him: one in an orange turban and wrap, another holding a silver pot with green leaves, and a man in orange with a rudraksha mala. Two people in white ritual clothes stand at right, one with palms pressed together. A garland of flowers lies on the vehicle roof. A thatched hut appears at upper right.2008-12-30Outdoor photo of a dirt courtyard with coconut palms, a red-brick wall and a silver SUV parked behind. Four people walk across the ground in orange robes: a figure in orange with an orange turban near the centre, a figure in orange kurta and trousers at left, and a bare-shouldered man in orange with yellow trim at right. A bare-chested man in white dhoti with a red cloth stands at far left beside a yellow-and-white van. A large green-and-white information board stands at right, and a tiled-roof building appears at left.2011-07-15December 01 20092009-12-01 +2 copiesA photograph of a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe stepping out of a silver SUV onto dusty ground, with palm trees and a flag-lined background behind. Two attendants in orange robes stand beside him: one at left wears an orange turban and holds a bead necklace, and one at right in an orange kurta with a maroon shawl holds a silver vessel with a green leaf offering. A person in white at far right holds hands in namaste. The seated man's features are not distinctive enough to identify him, so his identity is unsure; he is shown as an exiting passenger in orange ritual dress.2008-12-30Bright outdoor scene beside a palm tree: a red car with an open door, and a ceremonial red umbrella with blue panel, white lotus motif, and multicoloured tassels held aloft over a procession.

Another man in orange robes with a mala stands at right, and saffron-clad attendants surround the car door.2012-04-24April 23 20122012-04-23
