Photograph of a seated congregation in white ritual clothes facing a raised stage at a large hall with red curtains. Many attendees in white shirts and dhotis sit on pink and green mats in the foreground, their backs to the camera. On the stage, a large golden throne-like altar and a white deity murti with a halo stand above a seated figure in orange robes, with a golden shrine behind. Several saffron-robed attendees sit along the stage edge, with cameras on tripods filming the scene and an empty orange armchair to one side. The hall's walls are decorated with pillars and a rounded golden canopy hangs overhead. A figure in orange robes sits on the central throne, but facial appearance is not sufficient to confirm identity.

A large indoor satsang hall with a dense crowd of devotees seated on red mats facing a stage. On the stage, a figure in an orange-red garment and rudraksha-style beads sits on an ornate golden throne (simhasana) before a painted jungle-scene backdrop. To the right, a golden shrine holds deity murtis with floral garlands and a kalasha-style canopy. Two camera tripods are set up, and a man in white stands at the left side of the hall. Most devotees wear white dhotis and shirts, while a few wear orange. The scene conveys a discourse or satsang setting.

Wide view from the back of a hall filled with seated devotees dressed in white, many in dense rows on a light floor. On a raised stage, a figure in orange-saffron robes and a turban sits on a gold throne with a gold canopy, flanked by a gold-framed deity murti in purple and gold. Large screens on both sides show the same seated figure in orange. A camera on a tripod and a cameraperson stand near the stage. Red curtains frame the back wall. The seated figure wears saffron clothing and a turban, with a person appearance, but the view is too distant to confirm features.

Photograph from behind a large seated audience in an indoor hall, mostly men in white shirts and white dhotis sitting on the floor. At the far end, a gold-coloured deity murti, seated in a golden throne-like arrangement with a red curtain and potted plants behind it. A standing man in white stands near the front of the stage. Two large screens on the side walls show close-up views of the crowd. Camera tripods and a cameraman are visible near the stage.

A large crowd of devotees, mostly men in white dhotis and shirts, sits on the floor facing a raised stage in a hall with maroon drapes. On the stage, a figure seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-carved armrests and a golden canopy is flanked by robed sannyasis in saffron and orange cloth and women in white and orange sarees. Several devotees in the foreground wear orange turbans and rudraksha malas. Video cameras on tripods film the stage, and golden poles line the foreground. The seated throne figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identifiable by his central position on the golden peetha with a crown-like headdress and ornate clothing, though the image resolution is limited. About 60 people are visible.
