Nithyanandapedia
Indoor hall at a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style ashram event with a large seated audience of devotees, many wearing white shirts and white headbands. A tall figure in a saffron/orange robe with long hair stands near the front, appearing to be a sannyasi/teacher, with a central aisle, a stage area draped in blue-and-white cloth, a red backdrop, and a projector and speakers visible. A table in the foreground holds items with saffron cloth. The candidate in saffron has a compatible presentation (long hair, saffron robe) but the face and overall cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the appearance is uncertain.

A photograph inside a bright hall where a figure in an orange-saffron robe stands in the foreground on a yellow patterned mat, facing a seated audience. Dozens of seated devotees, mostly men in white shirts and white headbands, fill rows of plastic chairs. Along the left are a steel counter, a blue and white striped drape, and a small altar area with flowers. The orange-robed figure has long hair and bare arms, with distinctive saffron clothing, so this is a person appearance in person.

A central figure in a flowing orange-red robe stands on a red carpet, with an orange-clad person seated on the right side of the carpet. Most attendees wear white or light-coloured clothing and sit cross-legged on the floor. Ceiling fans, large windows and a speaker stand are visible in the room. The standing figure's face and build are not clear enough to confirm identity from appearance alone, and the page does not place a person at this event.2009-08-02A large hall with a green carpeted central aisle where a man in a saffron-orange robe walks between rows of seated devotees. Nearly all the seated people wear white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes, and many wear white or light clothing. The standing figure in orange has long dark hair swept back, with a bare upper body visible beneath the robe; his appearance is consistent with the page's description but not certain enough to confirm identity. Behind him, several men in white stand near open doorways, and a white-wearing person stands at right. Women in saris of cream, blue, pink and red sit among the rows, and white plastic chairs fill the foreground. A purple logo appears at the top left corner.2010-08-21
