A photograph of a devotional music performance on a stage with an orange and yellow backdrop bearing a dark silhouette of a dancing figure. Two young women sit cross-legged on a green mat singing before microphones, both wearing white saris with coloured borders and yellow shawls; one wears a bindi and a beaded necklace. Behind them an older woman in glasses sits beside a wooden drum, and clay pots stand at the right edge of the stage. A pair of open books lies on the mat, and a water bottle sits at the left.

A seated group of women in orange, maroon and white clothing sits behind microphones on a red cloth-covered platform, a satsang-style gathering. The nearest woman, with a shaved head and orange robe with a rudraksha mala, presses her palms together in front of her. Others wear white saris with gold borders, rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, and some have hands folded in laps. A gold carved wooden panel stands behind them and a small Radel recorder sits on the platform. No figure here shows the distinctive presentation cues needed for a person identification, so the seated participants are described by role only.

Five women and a shaved-headed man sit cross-legged on a red-draped stage in front of an ornate green-and-gold carved wooden panel, each with hands pressed together in prayer namaskar. Four have microphones on stands before them. The woman second from left wears an orange saffron sari with a rudraksha mala, the woman second from right wears a white sari with a red-orange rudraksha mala, and the man on the far right wears white dhoti-style cloth with a sacred thread and a rudraksha mala. Other participants wear maroon and white garments. A small radio and a glass container sit on the stage, consistent with a satsang darshan gathering.
