A photograph of a bowed figure in long dark hair and white ritual dress with an orange-bordered shawl, leaning forward over a low table heaped with flowers in pink, red, white and yellow. Behind the table, a large portrait printed with the name a person shows a smiling man in a white turban and dark embroidered jacket. A pink and gold curtain hangs beside it, with strings of marigold garlands and balloons in red, yellow and blue decorating the wall. On the left, a woman in a brown top and jeans stands with her hands joined in prayer. The bowed figure's face is not visible, so the a person candidate is uncertain.

A photograph of a puja being performed before a framed portrait of Paramahamsa Nithyananda seated in orange robes and a rudraksha mala, with a hand raised in blessing, set against a tree trunk. The portrait is garlanded with red and yellow flowers and placed on a red velvet chair with gold trim. A young man in a white dhoti-style kurta and a yellow shawl stands at left, holding a lit lamp or flame toward the portrait. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a red-draped altar with a seated figure in white and orange, plus a small deity murti, sits in the background. A silver kalasha and offerings lie on the orange cloth in front. The portrait is labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda".

A photograph of a ritual puja in a temple shrine. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a yellow shawl stands at left, pouring liquid from a small metal vessel over a framed portrait. The framed portrait shows a smiling man with long hair in orange robes and a white flower garland, seated before a tree trunk with one hand raised; the frame is garlanded with red, orange and yellow flowers. The portrait sits on a red cushioned golden chair with a kalasha-like vessel and a burning flame before it. Behind, a red-draped deity murti is adorned with garlands, and brass oil lamps stand on either side.

A devotee in a white shirt and grey trousers kneels on a red-carpeted floor and bows forward, touching the bare feet of a seated figure. The seated person wears a rust-brown dhoti or robe and sits on a gold-carved throne with red cushions. Marigold, jasmine and yellow flower petals are scattered on the carpet, and a red velvet cushion lies in front of the throne. A large garland of red and white flowers drapes over the throne's arm.

A photograph of a devotional altar set up in an indoor room. A framed portrait on the left shows a figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair, rudraksha mala beads and a white flower garland; the portrait is a printed image, not a physical person. Below and beside it lie white and yellow flower petals, a folded orange and maroon cloth, and a brass oil lamp with a flame on a red patterned rug. Three men are visible: two kneel on the rug in front of a tray of flowers and an oil lamp, one with folded hands standing near the altar, and a man in white standing at the right edge. A woman in a white sari stands behind them. A banner in the background partly reads 'Program'.

Photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair wearing a cream-white robe with gold trim and ornate silver embroidery, smiling as he reaches toward a small golden box or tray on a white-draped couch. Two people kneel or bend before him in the foreground: a woman with dark hair in a white top and a man in a yellow shirt, bowing close to the seat. Behind them stands a man in a white collared shirt with a lanyard. Red roses, yellow and pink flowers, and green fronds decorate the room, and a silver tray lies in front. On the wall behind is a large portrait labelled "Nithyananda" showing a smiling man in a white turban, dark jacket and ornate necklace. Probable Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, ornate silver necklace and cream robe with gold trim. The printed portrait shows a turbaned man with ornate jewellery, a depiction and not a physical person.
