A seated audience fills a hall with pink walls and a ceiling draped in white cloth, hung with tall decorative pillars wrapped in colourful patterned fabric with orange tassels. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt stands in the centre holding a microphone and a sheet of paper, addressing the crowd. Most attendees sit cross-legged on mats in white clothes, several wearing identification badges, with some in orange or peach shirts. A large ornate chair stands at the far right near the wall. A blue banner with Tamil script hangs on the right.

A photograph of a training session in a hall with a tiled floor, white walls and a thatched roof. Around thirty seated participants in white clothes sit on colourful striped mats, many wearing lanyards with badges. A speaker in white with a red-orange shawl stands at a lectern with a microphone stand in the foreground, facing the audience. Plastic chairs are stacked along the back wall and a blue banner is mounted on the wall.

A dim indoor hall with peach-coloured walls and sliding glass doors shows a large seated audience of women on the floor in white and coloured saris, many wearing identity badges on lanyards. A standing woman in a white top and patterned skirt holds a microphone at the centre back. A blue sign on the left wall reads in Tamil script. No a person candidate is visible, so the presence of a satsang is shown only through the seated gathering.

A large indoor hall with pink-washed walls and rows of seated women, mostly in white saris with thin borders, some with mala beads and ID badges. A woman in a white top and patterned skirt stands near the centre holding a microphone and gesturing as she speaks. A blue and white sign with Tamil script hangs on the left wall beside an orange platform, and folding chairs line the back. A few older women in orange or saffron saris sit at the far right. No clearly visible a person figure is identifiable from appearance in this frame, so the a person field is unsure and no name is attributed to any person.

A large seated audience of devotees dressed entirely in white fills a hall during a satsang-style session. A bald man in a white short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti stands at the right, speaking into a microphone on a silver stand while gesturing with his right hand, apparently asking a question or sharing. Many seated attendees wear white clothing, rudraksha-style beaded malas, and white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. Children sit in the front row at the lower edge of the frame. Behind the crowd, the hall has cream walls, framed pictures and a large screen, with a sign-like panel visible at the top, though the distant images are not clearly readable.

A standing man in a long orange sannyasi robe holds a handheld microphone in his right hand and raises his left arm while addressing a seated congregation on a green carpet. Hundreds of seated devotees in white clothes with white headbands fill the hall; a shaven-headed attendant in white with an orange shawl kneels at right. The hall has white walls, a red-curtained stage, a projection screen, a blue notice board with Tamil text, and a water bottle on the floor. The standing man wears a long orange robe over bare shoulders, and his hair is long and swept back. Appearance cues are partial, so identity is uncertain.

A seated congregation of men in plain white shirts and white dhotis fills a yellow-walled hall, sitting on mats and cushions. Many wear dark rudraksha malas over their shirts. In the front rows, a man in white with a grey moustache and another with glasses sit cross-legged, and a younger man in a white shirt sits in the centre. A few men in orange or saffron garments are visible among the rows. At the left a blue sign on the wall bears printed lettering, and a red chair stands near a railing. A colourful woven hanging with orange tassels hangs at the right edge. No speaker or throne is clearly visible in this frame.

A photograph of an indoor session in a plain whitewashed room. A man in an all-white kurta and white dhoti stands at the centre-top, gesturing with his hands while speaking, with a rudraksha-style mala around his neck. Seated on striped woven mats on the floor in front of him are about a dozen men in white shirts and white dhotis, many wearing lanyards, listening attentively. Behind them is a pair of orange-curtained metal grille doors and a framed picture on the wall. The standing speaker's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so he is described only by role as a speaker addressing the seated group.
