A seated man in an orange saffron robe sits on a white-draped throne-like seat in front of a backdrop of yellow marigold garlands and a projected banner reading "Paramahamsa Nithyanan..." (partly cut off). He has a red tilak on his forehead and smiles while a young girl in white with a pink sash stands before him. Around him, devotees in white clothes and a man in an orange robe stand attentively; a standing man in a white kurta wears a rudraksha mala, and women in white saris with gold borders and a yellow shawl bow or stand nearby. The scene appears to be a formal seated satsang or darshan event.

Behind them a backdrop shows a banner reading "Paramashiva Nithyananda" framed with yellow marigold garlands. Standing to the left is a man in orange robes and a woman in a pale blue sari; to the right, a woman in a white sari with a yellow border and others in white and pastel clothing; a bald older man in white and grey stands among them. The seated figure wears a saffron robe and has a distinctive appearance; the page indicates he is.

A stage event at a person Spurana convention with a banner reading in Tamil and English. A seated man in an orange sleeveless robe with bare feet on a low wooden stool is having his feet touched by a kneeling woman in a pink and gold sari, while a man in white shirt and white dhoti bends forward with hands raised beside her. Standing to the left are a man in white kurta with orange shawl, a bearded man in orange robe with rudraksha mala, and a young boy in a yellow shirt.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a multi-coloured flower garland sits on an orange-cushioned throne with dark carved wooden arms, smiling, hands resting on his lap. Long dark hair swept back. Around him stand several people in white clothes with yellow shawls, including a man in white with a yellow shawl bending forward with a folded paper, a bald man in white, women in white saris with yellow shawls and red bindis, and a woman in a pink sari with a yellow shawl and rudraksha-style beads. Two electric fans, a white pedestal with fruit on top, and beige curtains with a decorative border fill the hall. The figure's distinctive long hair, saffron robe and garland are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.
