Indoor photo in a white marble temple-style hall at night, dimly lit. A man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands at centre-left beside a red-and-white banner reading International Peace Day. Another man in white with an orange shawl stands at right near a dark deity murti on a pedestal. Around a golden shrine structure at left, seated devotees in orange, yellow, blue and checked shirts sit on the floor facing the front. A framed photograph of a seated saffron-clad figure on a stand at lower right is printed, not a physical person. a person is not asserted; the standing figures show no distinctive identifying cues.

A photograph inside a temple-style hall with white pillars and a dark polished floor. A standing man in white dhoti and an orange-saffron shawl, seen from behind, faces a shrine with deity murti in a green-curtained niche and a small framed image on a stand. Around him, about two dozen children sit cross-legged on the floor in mixed shirts and shorts, facing the shrine. Ornate red-and-white decorated pillars flank the shrine, and a framed portrait showing a figure with orange robes, rudraksha beads and a crown sits on a cushioned seat at right. Framed pictures hang on the walls and a small CRT monitor sits at left.

A photograph of a satsang in a hall with pink walls, framed pictures on the walls and a row of red-cushioned chairs at the back. A figure with long dark hair and an orange-and-saffron garment sits on a dark carved wooden throne-like chair on a raised red-draped table, holding a golden staff. Around him, a large seated crowd sits on a light floor: many in saffron and orange robes, others in white dhotis and white tops, and children in green, pink and dresses. A seated man in white on the left gestures with his hand. The scene is a sitting congregation listening to a discourse.
