A crowded indoor hall during a seated ritual, with many devotees in white clothing and yellow lanyards. In the centre, a bald man with a long braided ponytail, a full grey beard and a red bindi on his forehead sits in a white robe with a black rudraksha mala and eyes closed, chanting. Beside him, a man in white with glasses and a tilak wears a pink flower in his hair. Others sit in beige shirts and red tops, and pink flowers and an orange wall fill the background.

A seated satsang audience with eyes closed in meditation. The central older man has swept-back white hair, a white beard, a red kumkum dot on his forehead, and wears a white shirt with a dark rudraksha mala. Around him a man in glasses with a red forehead mark, a young man in glasses, a bald man in the foreground with a red tilak, and a man in a yellow striped shirt with palms pressed together sit in a hall. The people wear white and light clothing with a red-tipped forehead mark on several.

Photo of a seated audience at an ashram gathering with people in white and cream clothing and yellow lanyards with badges. In the foreground a bald man with a long beard wears white and a rudraksha mala, and a man in white with glasses speaks into a microphone in the middle row. A man in an orange shirt with a lanyard sits at right, and a man at left wears white with a tilak on his forehead. A pink and white patterned fabric backdrop hangs behind the seats. No one visibly matches the a person candidate cues clearly enough to identify him, so the appearance is uncertain.

Indoor seated audience at a discourse, mostly men in white clothing with yellow lanyards and rudraksha malas. In the front, a bald-headed man with a long grey beard and a long braid down his back sits in white with a rudraksha mala, smiling and looking to the side. Beside him an older bearded man in white with glasses and a yellow mala listens. To the right a young man with a long braid wears white with a yellow lanyard and a beaded mala. Behind, others sit on white plastic chairs, one man in a blue-striped shirt in the lower left, and a man in grey trousers on a chair at upper right. White pillars and bamboo blinds frame the hall.

A photograph of a large seated audience at a satsang, many men in white kurta-style clothing with rudraksha malas around their necks. Several people in the front rows lean forward attentively, some with hands raised to their chins, while a few wear coloured shirts: an orange top at left and a blue striped shirt at upper right. Some attendees wear lanyard badges. The crowd fills the frame densely, and no single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is presented in this scene.

Many wear white dhotis and shawls with gold borders, rudraksha malas, and white sacred ash on their foreheads. Several sit with hands pressed in anjali, eyes closed in prayer. A bald man in a white kurta, wearing glasses and a rudraksha mala, sits at centre with hands joined near his waist. Some devotees in the back wear white shirts, and a few appear to be women seated at the rear. The setting is an indoor hall with a bright orange floor covering.
