Wide view of a large hall filled with hundreds of seated men in white dhotis, many bare-chested with white sacred threads across their shoulders, sitting on the floor facing a stage at the far end. Two large screens on either side of the stage show live video of a figure in ornate clothing. The stage has golden decorative panels and red curtains, and people in white stand near side areas and a small table. Pink-toned ceiling lights and banners line the walls.

A large crowd of devotees, mostly men in white ritual clothes and white shirts, sits seated on the floor of a hall, viewed from behind. Some wear dhotis with gold borders and others wear colourful checked shirts and a pink top. On a raised stage at the far end, figures in saffron and orange robes stand near a large golden decorated backdrop, with an oversized screen on each side showing a close-up video feed. A lit white lamp hangs on the right side of the hall, and a tall pyramid of offerings stands at the stage edge. The scene conveys a Guru Purnima gathering in an ashram hall.

Wide view from the back of a large, brightly lit hall where a seated audience of many people, mostly in white clothes with orange and saffron shawls, faces a stage. Two large screens display a red-clothed deity figure. A tall statue of a seated deity stands near the left wall. Devotees sit on mats and chairs, with a few bald heads and orange garlands visible in the foreground. The scene suggests a satsang or Inner Awakening gathering, though no speaker is clearly identifiable from this angle.

A large crowd of devotees, mostly men in white dhotis and shirts, sits on the floor of a hall facing a stage at the far end. On the stage, several people in saffron and white clothing stand near an ornate golden backdrop with a large deity murti, and a red curtain frames the scene. Two screens on either side show the stage, and a camera crane is visible on the left. Strings of oil lamps line the right edge of the stage. An auspicious programme appears to be underway. The stage figures are too distant to assess individually.

On the stage ahead, a golden throne-like seat and ornate golden pillars frame a deity murti and a figure seated at the front; two screens on either side show large images. The audience is dense, many sitting cross-legged on the floor, and a few people stand near the left edge with a camera on a tripod.

A photograph taken from the back of a large hall showing a dense crowd of devotees seated on colourful striped woven mats on the floor, facing a stage at the far end. Most seated people wear white dhotis and white shirts; some wear saffron or orange shawls and one man wears a checked lungi. On the stage, a golden ornate throne and a golden decorated canopy or palanquin-style structure stand before a dark red curtain, with a figure in white at the centre of the stage. Two large screens on either side show a close-up of a man wearing a red turban. The walls are decorated with framed red and yellow panels, and ceiling fans and lights are visible. This is a satsang-style gathering.

Several people in orange and saffron clothing sit near the front. Warm stage lighting contrasts with the dim hall.
