A large evening gathering of devotees seated closely on the ground under a covered open-sided pavilion strung with colourful fairy lights and lanterns. Most attendees are women and girls in white saris with gold borders, with gold necklaces and some with vibhuti or kumkum on their foreheads; some hold their hands in anjali. Many more people stand at the back in white dhotis and shawls. Red mats cover the floor at the right edge. No single figure can be clearly identified as the teacher in this view, so the appearance of a person is not established.

A dimly lit hall with many seated devotees, mostly women, sitting cross-legged on striped mats and facing toward the front. Many wear white or cream saris and rudraksha malas; one woman in the foreground wears a white sari with a gold border and a white shawl, another in a floral white sari, and one in a red top at left. Name badges are pinned to several clothes. Men in white stand at the back of the hall beneath fluorescent lights. The scene suggests a healers' initiation session with a meditative gathering.

A large crowd of devotees sits on the ground under a colourful striped and patterned tent canopy at an evening gathering. Most women wear white saris with gold borders and many have gold necklaces and kumkum or vibhuti on their foreheads. A woman in a yellow and white sari sits at left, a woman in orange and white sits centre-left, and a small child in a brown outfit sits near the front. Strip lights hang from poles around the tent. No single speaker or figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.
