Indoor satsang or darshan at a hall with a white-cushioned seat. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange-saffron top and a dark rudraksha-style mala, sits centrally on a white throne-like seat, extending his hand to a devotee. Probable Swamiji (probable) in saffron clothing with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, seated in the role of presiding teacher. Around him, a standing monk in orange robes and shaved head stands behind, a young man in a red shirt stands at the back, and devotees in white, orange shawls and green saris sit or kneel in front, some with folded hands. A woman in yellow with a mala and a man in white with an orange shawl are at the right and left. Items on the seat include a book, a bundle of blue-and-white printed sheets, a rudraksha mala and a coconut-like offering. A red curtain and a banner with a patterned border hang behind.

A photograph of an indoor room with cream walls and a tiled floor. A man in an orange saffron robe with a red, yellow and white flower garland stands centre-left, reaching toward an open red-lined box of offerings. A woman in a pink blouse and white sari with a long braid holds a framed artwork, touching its edge. In front, a woman in a white sari with jasmine in her hair and a beaded necklace looks down. On the right, a bare-headed man in white with a rudraksha mala and a young man in white with a yellow shawl and long hair stand by. Papers and a red cloth lie on the table.

A seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a pink and white flower garland holds an open book, with a beaded rudraksha mala hanging from his hand, at the centre of a satsang-style gathering. Before him a young boy in a light blue shirt and green shorts bends forward on a white cloth, and a woman in a cream and gold sari with a gold-bordered pallu sits with hands folded in prayer on the right. A man in a white kurta sits on the left holding a framed picture, and a second man in orange robes with a red kalasha-like tray and fruit offering sits at the far left. A bottle of water and a bowl of fruit sit on an orange-draped stool, and a wine-coloured patterned rug covers the floor. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, identified by his long swept-back hair, orange robes, flower garland and rudraksha mala, but the photo is not clear enough to confirm this.

Indoor photo in a plain room with pale yellow walls and a barred window. A seated figure in orange saffron robes with long dark hair sits on a white chair at right, palms pressed together in greeting, smiling. In front of them stands a white-draped table holding a tray of fruit including oranges, apples and green grapes. A man in a white kurta with rudraksha mala and a multicoloured garland stands in the centre with hands folded, while a man in a white shirt and black belt stands arms crossed at the window. Visitors on the left include a woman in white sari with gold border and pendant necklace, a man in striped shirt holding a bag, and a man in blue shirt holding a fruit. A small framed picture and a printed book cover with a portrait are on the table; the cover reads a Nithyananda-related caption. Nearby hung garlands are visible. Seven or eight people are present.

A hall filled with devotees in white clothes and orange scarves, with many standing and seated people in the background. On the right, a person with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange robe with gold necklaces sits on an orange-upholstered seat, smiling and raising a hand in greeting. A visible person with long dark hair wearing orange clothing with gold necklaces is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues. In front, a woman in a white sari with a pink border and a man in white holding rolled papers stand close, with a seated devotee in the foreground. Orange cloth draped over the floor and a tray with items sit near the seat, and white curtains hang on the back wall.
