A photograph of a screen showing a satsang-style gathering in a bright white hall with a red-draped table. On the table are a plate of oranges, a potted flower plant, a small brass lamp and a dish. A woman in a white sari with a green border and a red shawl stands at left holding a small object. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands center, with a group of about ten people behind him in casual clothes, some wearing red shawls. A woman in a white top sits in the front row, and a woman in an orange-and-brown sari sits at right beside a red curtain. In the bottom right corner, an inset video shows a seated figure in a red headdress before a red-and-white backdrop.

A photograph of an indoor hall with red carpet and pink walls where people perform a ritual honouring a seated figure. A woman in a red-orange sari with a garland stands at left holding a fruit plate, while a man in a white dhoti bends forward to touch the feet of a seated person draped in white cloth on a white-covered seat. Other men in white dhotis, a woman in a green sari, and a man in a checked shirt stand nearby. A cameraman films. Fruit plates, flowers and a vase sit on the floor, and rows of seated devotees in white clothes fill the right side under hanging black and red decorative banners.

A photograph inside a plain whitewashed hall with ceiling fans and a tiled floor. On the left, a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala holds a silver tray of fruit, and beside him a seated figure in orange clothing with long hair holds a fruit in one hand and gestures with the other. A group of standing men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with gold-bordered dhotis, stand with hands folded, while one man in yellow and another in white shirt stand nearby. On the far right, a man with glasses and a rudraksha mala wears a white shirt and dhoti. Plates of fruit and a water bottle sit on the floor at the lower left.

A photograph inside a plain open-sided hall with a corrugated roof and a blue cloth backdrop. A person in a saffron-orange robe sits on a white-cushioned chair draped with a yellow-and-orange marigold garland, hands joined in front of the chest and smiling. A small wooden table beside the chair holds a tray of fruit and a cloth-covered offering. On the red and white mat in front, four people stand: a man in a white shirt and grey trousers and a woman in a yellow kurta with hands folded in greeting, and two men in white shirts and white dhotis, the one at right wearing an orange shawl. The seated figure has a crown-like cue absent here; the robe and garland mark ceremonial reception, and the scene shows a darshan-style greeting.

Indoor puja scene in a hall with fluorescent-style lighting and a red curtain. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers bends forward to place an orange on an offering tray. A woman in a red garland and dark attire holds an orange out toward him, with white vibhuti marks on her forehead. The tray holds oranges, bananas, red kumkum-coloured items and a cloth, set among potted plants and coconuts. Behind them, several men in white shirts and ochre-saffron shawls stand watching, and a cameraman operates a video camera on a tripod. A standing fan and an air conditioner are visible on the right wall.

Indoor photograph in a plain whitewashed hall with barred windows, a wall-mounted television cabinet at right and a folding chair. A figure with long dark hair wears an orange sleeveless robe and sits on a red cushion, holding a fruit. Facing them, a standing man at left in orange holds a silver tray of fruit. Around them, several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand with hands folded or clasped, one holding papers. A shaved-headed man in a yellow shawl and tilak stands barefoot at centre-left. An appearance-based a person cue is present: long dark hair and an orange robe on the seated figure, who receives the fruit offering; this is an unsure identification.

A photograph of a plain white-walled hall with a ceiling fan and small windows. A seated figure in the foreground, wearing an orange robe and with long dark hair, sits on a red cloth and holds a fruit in one hand while another orange-robed person stands at left holding a tray of fruit. A circle of standing men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with white forehead markings, face the seated figure and hold fruit or join hands in front of them. One man at right wears glasses and a rudraksha-style necklace. The scene looks like a ritual offering being presented.
