Below the arch hangs a banner reading "Nithyananda Dhyanapeeta" with a portrait of a smiling figure in saffron-orange clothing and a second Devanagari line. A bright orange cloth canopy forms the entrance. A thatched roof hut, a railway bridge carrying freight wagons and small banners stand nearby, with a few people visible at the lower right.

Photograph of the entrance to a temporary a person Dhyanapeeta pavilion at a camp site, framed by a large orange tarpaulin canopy and a painted gopuram-style backdrop of colourful deity figures in relief. A banner above the entrance shows a portrait of a smiling man with long hair, red-and-saffron cloth and a red tilak, hands raised in greeting, beside Devanagari and English text reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeeta. Crowds of men in shirts and trousers press toward the dark doorway, where a woman in an orange-and-cream sari walks along the brick pavement. Ornate pillars and hanging decorations are visible inside the tent. The portrait on the banner is a printed depiction, not a person in the scene.

A photograph of a procession at a temple-style entrance decorated with painted deity figures in an arched panel above a banner reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetha. Beneath it an orange canopy shelters a decorated palanquin with gold ornaments and umbrellas. Men in white dhotis with orange and red cloth stand in lines on both sides, several holding hands in a chain, with a crowd of onlookers in casual clothes and a rudraksha mala on the right. Orange-robed figures are visible further inside the entrance.

A photograph of a festival entrance decorated with an orange and red canopy hung beneath a colourful temple gateway. Above the entrance, a painted arch depicts multiple Hindu deities in an ornate frieze. A large banner reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetha hangs over the entrance, showing a portrait of a smiling woman in a red sari, presumably a devotee or dignitary, though this is a printed image. Visitors in saris, salwar kameez and jackets walk along a path lined with strings of lights and a green carpet toward a bright interior with a decorated deity murti. Men in shirts and jackets stand near the entrance, and a woman in a pink sari stands at the right edge.
