A seated group of devotees in a hall during a meditation or satsang session. In the foreground a bald man in orange robes and a white-marked body sits on a purple mat beside a woman in white with an orange shawl, eyes closed. Behind them women in white and cream saris and orange-trimmed attire sit on cushions, some with hands folded. A dark monitor screen with blue display is at left, and a yellow patterned cushion lies on the floor. Warm red-lit arches frame the back wall. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone.

Indoor satsang in a hotel-style atrium with a large audience seated in white clothes and orange-red shawls. On a raised stage a seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits on a dark ornate throne with golden lion-shaped armrests and a golden arch behind; a figure with a rudraksha-style mala is visible. Two women in white with orange stoles stand at microphones at the right of the stage, and floral arrangements, speakers and stage lights frame the scene. A large foreground crowd faces the stage.

Indoor ashram hall with a raised wooden stage and a figure seated on an ornate golden-brown throne at left, wearing orange robes and a beaded necklace, holding a ceremonial staff. Beside the throne sits a golden lion-form statue. Several people in orange and saffron clothing sit cross-legged on a patterned mat at right, including a shaved-headed person in orange and another in orange seated near a camera on a tripod. A standing woman in white with an orange shawl stands at right holding a paper, near a black floor speaker and a laptop. Pink flowers in a vase sit on the stage, and green foliage hangs along the upper wall. A large projection screen is visible at right.
