A photograph of visitors crowding in front of the a person Galleria exhibition stall under a white tent. A red fascia board reads Nithyananda Galleria in English and Hindi, with a small portrait of a smiling woman with short dark hair beside the English title. Behind the crowd, shelves display framed photographs, and a central alcove is draped in red and orange fabric with a large framed portrait of a man with a garland. Colourful patterned banners hang along the stall. In the foreground, people wear saffron, red, green and pink clothes, and a woman in a purple sari stands at left. The scene is busy with many visitors, several carrying bags.

A large indoor satsang hall with a seated congregation of devotees in white clothes, many wearing red or orange shawls and rudraksha malas, sitting on white mats and carpets. In the front centre, a gold-coloured ornate throne stands on a raised platform, empty of a visible seated figure, with a red-draped stage on the left where people sit. Ceiling lights, dark wooden columns and a red banner reading Nithyananda Gallería are visible at the back. No identifiable a person figure is clearly seated on the throne in this image.

A large seated group of devotees fills a wooden-panelled hall, many holding small oil lamps lit for an evening puja. Most wear white kurtas or saris with orange-red shawls. Several men in the foreground wear white dhotis with orange-red scarves and hold lamps. Small children in saffron-orange robes sit on blue mats in the lower foreground beside brass plates and banana-leaf offerings of food. A tripod-mounted camera and a projector screen are visible at the edges. Above the seating, a banner reads Nithyananda Galleria. The scene is a group puja with oil lamps and offerings, with no clear a person candidate in view.

A photograph of a crowded indoor hall where a large group of women in white and light-coloured saris and salwar kameez stand with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, some with rudraksha or red threads and flowers in their hair. Behind them, a banner reads Nithyananda Galleria and shows portraits of a man with a turban and saffron robes; shelves of framed photographs and books line the room. Near the centre, a sannyasi in saffron robes and a red turban stands with hands folded in prayer. A second saffron-robed figure in the background, near the doorway, holds a camera up to his face. Another robed person stands at the far right beside the open door. Some people in the foreground are blurred.

A photograph inside a large hall with cream walls, framed portraits and a wide walkway lined with devotees. In the foreground, a person in an orange saffron wrap and orange head covering stands with arms extended, holding a bangle-and-garland adorned wooden tray. Beside them, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a gold chain holds a wooden box filled with rudraksha-style beads and red fruits. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand with hands folded in anjali, and a woman in a yellow garment holds a child at right. Several large projection screens hang on the walls and a shrine is visible at the far end.

A large hall with yellow padded wall panels and wooden paneling hosts a satsang session. Rows of seated devotees in white clothing with red-orange shoulder cloths fill the foreground and middle. At the centre front, a long-haired man in a reddish-brown wrap stands beside an ornate orange and brown chair, holding a trident-like staff, while a bottle of water sits nearby. A printed banner on the back wall reads Nithyananda Galleria beside portraits of a figure in an orange turban. Several rows of attendees in white and orange sit before the stage.
