A man in saffron-orange robes sits on a white-cushioned chair on a raised stage before a red velvet curtain, reading from a sheet of paper at a microphone on a stand. He has long dark hair and a bare shoulder, and wears a shawl draped across his body. In the foreground are three golden metal deity murti: a central figure in white dhoti and cloth with a crown and raised hand, flanked by two figures in orange-red garments, one holding a mace-like staff. A standing white pedestal fan stands at the left edge. The setting resembles an indoor discourse or satsang hall. The man displays distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a shawl, which is consistent with the probable Swamiji cues, so the appearance is probable; the stage is a discourse setting.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair sits in a white-draped chair on a low stage, speaking into a microphone on a stand. The figure has long swept-back hair, saffron/orange clothing, and a seated posture consistent with a speaker at a discourse; the appearance is consistent with a person candidate in person, though the face is not visible. In front, three gold-coloured murti statues stand on a wooden plinth: a central male deity figure in a white dhoti and sash with a crown and raised hand, flanked by two female figures in orange-red saris. A white pedestal fan stands at the left against a dark red curtain, and a small sign on the chair reads a short label.2007-01-27January 27 20072007-01-27January 27 20072007-01-27A photograph of a man seated on a white-draped dais reading papers, wearing an orange-saffron robe and bare feet, with long dark hair swept back. He holds several sheets in both hands, and a microphone stand is at his right. Behind him is a framed picture of a figure in orange robes with a long beaded necklace, flanked by golden deity statues and a gold lamp stand on a white-draped table at left. A red-carpeted platform and dark drape frame the stage. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and ornate beaded necklace in the framed portrait are consistent with the page's identification of the speaker.2006-07-20A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and a white garland of flowers sits on a white armchair on a stage, a microphone on a stand beside him and a water bottle and walking stick at his feet on a red cloth. Behind him stands a tall figure in a saffron robe, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" hangs on a dark pedestal with a golden lion-like ornament, and a brass oil lamp stands in front. A small electric fan is in the foreground, and a deity murti with a trident-like staff stands at the back. Swamiji (probable) is seated in person, identified by the saffron robes, long hair and garland cues.2006-09-14A seated man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair reads from an open brown book on an ornate white throne with gold carved arms and a red backrest, which displays a framed portrait of a figure in orange with a garland. A woman in an orange sari stands beside him holding a paper.

A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits barefoot on a white-draped chair on a green-and-red striped rug, reading papers held in both hands, with a tray of papers on his lap. A microphone stands on a stand beside him, and a microphone sits on a draped table at left next to a water bottle and a small brass pot. Behind him are a gilded throne, two gold standing deity murtis with raised arms, a gold shrine-like pot, and a large portrait backdrop of a seated saffron-clad figure with a rudraksha mala. A visible person in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala appears in the scene; he is an appearance-based candidate, so identity is probable but the cues are moderately distinctive.2006-07-20A photograph of a puja on a raised stage before dark maroon drapes with gold-patterned panels at the top corners.
