A seated group of devotees in a hall during a ceremony, sitting on a striped blue and red floor mat. In the foreground a woman in white looks toward the front while a seated woman in an orange sari with pink border sits with hands folded.

A plant stands against the wall, and a small puja table with flowers and a brass offering plate is at the left edge. No a person candidate is clearly visible in this frame.

Seated audience photographed from the front at a satsang hall, most people in plain white shirts and kurtas. In the foreground a man with glasses and a white shirt sits cross-legged, with an identity badge clipped to his shirt, beside a younger man in a striped white-and-black t-shirt and a gold chain. Behind them devotees wear white with red-and-orange shawls and rudraksha malas, some sitting in meditation posture. A young girl in white appears at the right edge. The crowd fills the frame, and the people are not wearing any identifiable ceremonial dress beyond white clothing and shawls.

A large seated audience of men in white shirts and white dhotis fills a tent at a programme, sitting on white plastic chairs on red carpet. Several hold booklets or pamphlets, and some wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and lanyard badges. In the background, framed portraits hang on the white draped tent walls, including one of a bearded, turbaned man in white, and a blue banner with white lettering appears at upper left. The crowd is densely packed, with many visible faces in the foreground rows and rows extending back toward the stage.

A dense crowd of men seated closely together, most dressed in plain white shirts and white dhotis, some with name badges clipped to their shirts. One man on the left wears a purple eye patch and a red tilak mark on his forehead; a bearded man beside him has a dot on his forehead. Several men in the back and right side are bare-chested with white cloths. The men look toward the front, attentive and seated on mats in an event hall. No single figure stands out as an identifiable presenter, and no one in the image is identified as a person.

A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a white-walled hall facing a raised altar, many with palms pressed together in prayer or raised hands. On the altar, a dark stone deity murti draped with a yellow and green garland stands center, flanked by a row of white and gold seated figures wearing red and cream turbans. A figure in an orange robe holds an object near a small fire or lamp, while another person in orange and cream stands beside the altar. A man in a white kurta stands at left beside a camera on a tripod, filming the scene. Dark stone statues and colourful decorated deity figures are set against the walls and at the sides of the platform.

A seated man in red robes with a red and yellow flower garland and a gold-tinted ceremonial staff stands behind a gilded lion-headed seat, hands raised in greeting. Beside him a woman in white with a rudraksha mala sits on the floor. A man in a striped shirt kneels with palms pressed together, and a woman with red hair in white sits nearby. Two other robed figures are seen in the background of a hall with wood-panelled walls and framed artwork.

A seated person in a brown throne-like armchair at the front of a large hall, wearing an orange-brown shawl, a yellow-trimmed sash, a leopard-print skirt, a long gold-and-yellow marigold garland and a gold pendant, with long dark hair swept back and a small microphone near the face. A silver ceremonial staff topped with a trident stands beside the chair. Around the seat, many devotees in white and saffron-red shawls sit on the floor, some with yellow forehead markings, facing the speaker. Purple floral patterns decorate the wall behind. Swamiji (probable) appears seated in the chair, identifiable by the long swept-back hair, saffron-trimmed garments, garland and rudraksha bracelets, with the trident staff indicating his ceremonial seat.
